All ten IPL teams have published their player retention list on the last day of November. BCCI set rules for the franchises that allowed all teams to retain only six players from their previous season’s squad, including the RTM rule. Franchises like the Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders have already spent a hefty amount to retain six players. As per the BCCI rules, all franchises can use a total of Rs. 120 crores to build their IPL 2025 squad, including the players that they have already retained.

Sunrisers Hyderabad made a record by retaining Heinrich Klassen (23 crores) for the most money. RCB’s Virat Kohli (Rs 21 crore) is not the most expensive player at the moment, while KKR’s IPL-winning captain Shreyas Iyer will also be a part of the auction. This release was the most surprising, while Mumbai Indians hit the ground by retaining five star players captain Hardik Pandya, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah, young Tilak Verma.
