Player Registrations

A staggering 1,574 players have registered for the IPL 2025 auction:

1,165 Indian players
409 overseas players

This lineup includes a diverse mix of experiences:

320 capped players (with national team experience)
1,224 uncapped players
30 players from Associate Nations

These players represent a wide talent pool, giving franchises a variety of options for building or strengthening their teams.

Player Retention Rules and Retained Players

Ahead of the auction, IPL teams have retained a total of 46 players with a combined expense of ₹558.5 crore. Each team could retain up to six players, including a combination of capped and uncapped players. Notably:

Each franchise can retain up to five capped players (Indian or overseas) and two uncapped Indian players, who are each valued at ₹4 crore.
Each team’s retention cost is deducted from their overall ₹120 crore auction purse.

Some notable retentions include:

Mumbai Indians: Jasprit Bumrah (₹18 crore), Suryakumar Yadav (₹16.35 crore), Rohit Sharma (₹16.30 crore)
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad (₹18 crore), Ravindra Jadeja (₹18 crore), MS Dhoni (₹4 crore)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli (₹21 crore), Rajat Patidar (₹11 crore)

Each franchise has tailored its strategy around retaining core players while preserving funds for the auction. For instance, Mumbai Indians will enter the auction with a remaining ₹45 crore.

Key Auction Rules: Right to Match (RTM) and Player Retention

A major feature of the IPL auction is the Right to Match (RTM) card, which allows teams to reacquire released players by matching the highest bid made by another franchise. However, there are updates to the RTM rule:

Teams with six retained players are not allowed to use RTM cards.
Teams that have not retained any players are granted six RTM cards for the auction.

Additionally, for the 2025 auction, a final bid option has been introduced to the RTM process. For instance:

If Royal Challengers Bengaluru releases Virat Kohli and Mumbai Indians bid ₹25 crore for him, RCB can use their RTM card.
In this revised system, Mumbai can then make a final offer above RCB’s match. If MI bids ₹30 crore, RCB must match this final bid to retain Kohli.

Squad Sizes and Overseas Players Limit

For IPL 2025, each franchise can have up to 25 players in its squad, including a maximum of eight overseas players. Here is an overview of the available squad slots for each team:

Chennai Super Kings: 20 slots (7 overseas)
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 22 slots (8 overseas)
Sunrisers Hyderabad: 20 slots (5 overseas)
Mumbai Indians: 20 slots (8 overseas)

These restrictions compel teams to carefully balance their rosters, especially when selecting overseas players.

Salary Slabs for Retained Players

The retention of players follows a structured salary system. The five capped retained players’ salaries are as follows:

Retained Player 1: ₹18 crore
Retained Player 2: ₹14 crore
Retained Player 3: ₹11 crore
Retained Player 4: ₹8 crore
Retained Player 5: ₹4 crore

These predetermined salary slabs streamline the auction process and aid in managing team finances effectively.

Strategy and Competition: What to Expect

The IPL 2025 mega auction holds immense significance as franchises aim to create winning combinations. With changes in the RTM card rules and the structured salary slabs for retained players, teams will need to be strategic with their bidding, particularly for in-demand all-rounders and international power hitters. As the number of marquee players increases, competition for top-tier talent will be fierce, and franchises are expected to rely on analytics and scouting to identify value players among the vast list of uncapped talent.
