Some teams expressed their opinion and said that they want 5-6 retentions or do not do the mega auction at all. In this, mainly 6 Teams say that instead of mega auction, there should be a mini auction.

According to reports, they include Hyderabad (SRH), Kolkata (KKR), Chennai (CSK), Mumbai (MI), Rajasthan (RR) and Gujarat (GT). And Bengaluru (RCB), Punjab (PBKS), Lucknow (LSG) and Delhi (DC) these 4 times want the mega auction to happen, and the old rules of auction remain the same. And it is also true that if the mega auction does not happen, then the squads of all the teams will look the same every year. New players will not get a chance. The BCCI knows this very well. Therefore, the BCCI has made it clear that IPL Action 2025 will be a mega auction.

If we talk about retention, then no disclosure has been made by the BCCI so far. According to the old rules of the mega auction, every team has the right to retain 4 players, in which 3 Indian and 1 foreign player are allowed to renew them. And each team can add 1 player back to their team in the auction using the RTM card. If the BCCI continues the same rule in this IPL auction 2025, then which IPL team will retain which players. let’s see,

In this article, we will talk about the 5 teams of IPL. Which includes KKR, SRH, RCB, RR and CSK before the IPL auction 2025.

Before the mega auction 2025, the retained players can stay associated with the team for 3 years, according to the BCCI meeting, some teams have suggested to increase this period to 5 years. In this way, all the teams will retain the players considering the future.

Who will be the defending champion of KKR’s 4 strong players?

The defending champion of IPL 2024 is Kolkata Knight Raiders. Kolkata has already won the IPL trophy twice before. The squad he had in 2024 was the best squad. This increases their problems. The Kolkata team will also be looking for a new head coach along with the player. Head coach Gautam Gambhir, who made him a champion, has now joined the Indian team. There are big names in KKR’s team. Both Indians and foreigners. His foreign names include Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Phile Salt and the most expensive player in IPL history in the 2024 mini-auction Mitchell Starc. Among the Indian players, he has Shreyas Aiyar, Rinku Singh, Varun Chakravarthy, Nitish Rana and rising star bowler Harshit Rana.

Considering the future, KKR would like to keep Rinku Singh and Harshit Rana in their squad before the IPL auction 2025 and their captain Shreyas Iyer is also likely to be retained. Among foreign players, KKR can keep Sunil Narine in the squad. Andre Russell can be added back to the mega auction using the RTM cart.

SRH’s team is in the most difficult before the IPL Auction 2025, which 4 players will be retained.

One of the most dangerous teams in the 2024 IPL season was the Sunrisers Hyderabad team. SRH’s team is already in trouble before the auction to be held this year. There are 4 players to retain before the auction, but who will the Hyderabad team retain, this is a big question. Hyderabad’s team has the strongest player among the foreign players. SRH team captain Pat Cummings who is the second most expensive player of IPL 2024 and the second most expensive player in IPL history. The team can release them. Along with them, big foreign names like Adam Markram, Wanindu Hasaranga, Glenn Phillips can be released. Among the Indian players, the team can release Rahul Tripathi, Mayank Agraval, Washington Sundar, Umran Malik, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. There is a possibility that SRH team can retain Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, N. Natarajan and wicket-keeper batsman Henrik Klaasen. And Trevis Head can be reconnected using the RTM card in IPL auction 2025.

The management of RR is also visible in the trouble, who will be the 4 players of the Royals.

Rajasthan Royals is the inaugural champion of IPL. This team won the title in the opening season of IPL under the captaincy of Shane Warne. The team of Rajasthan team was very strong last year, their team has big names like Jos Buttler, Roman Powell, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Trent Boult, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzi Chahal and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Riyan Parag, who performed brilliantly last year, is also an important part of the team. But this year, before the IPL auction 2025, this team is in trouble. Which players can solve the team’s problem? Let’s see. If the RR team wants to move forward considering the future. Probably, the team can retain Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Yuzi Chahal and Jos Buttler. And the team can rejoin Trend Bolt or Riyan Parag using the RTM card.

The path to Bengaluru is clear, RCB can retain these players before the IPL auction 2025.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the most liked IPL teams. RCB’s team has played IPL finals 3 times in the last 17 seasons, but the team was disappointed every time. The team has always included big stars, such as Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis, Shane Watson and many more. The biggest name in the middle of all this is Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli is the only player who has played for only one franchise since the initial season of IPL, Virat is also the highest run in IPL history. Last year with Virat, there was no shortage of stars in the team. Last year too, the team had big foreign names like Faf du Plessis, Camron Green, Glenn Maxwell, Will Jacks, Locke Ferguson, Reece Topley. The Indian faces included Mohammed Siraj, Dinesh Karthik, Yash Dayal and stellar performer Rajat Patidar. Still, the team managed to win the IPL trophy. However, RCB, who won 1 out of the first 8 matches, qualified by winning 6 out of their next 6 matches and made a record for the greatest comeback in IPL history. This year, RCB’s team will try their best to win the trophy once again. Before this, they will have to rebuild their entire squad, for this, they will have to retain 4 players for their future before the IPL auction 2025. So, who will they be, it is likely that the team will add Virat Kohli once again to their team, retain Rajat Patidar, Mohammed Siraj and Camron Green, the same will add Glenn Maxwell or Will Jacks to their team using RTM card.

Which 4 players can be retained by CSK, which players can be their future

The 2 most successful teams in IPL history are Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, both have won the IPL title 5-5 times. Chennai’s team has played the finals the most times so far. The Chennai team has always played cricket with domination in the last 15 seasons. There are a lot of stars in this team too. But the biggest name is none other than the most successful captain of Indian history, MS Dhoni. MS Dhoni has always given opportunities to new faces. MS Dhoni did the same last year by leaving his captaincy and making young Ruturaj Gaikwad the captain of the CSK team. MS Dhoni is now very old. Whether he will play IPL 2025 or not is also a big question. Before the IPL auction 2025, CSK would like to keep some new names in the team. There is a possibility that the team can retain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja and Mahish Pathirana. And Rachin Ravindra can rejoin the tram with the help of RTM card.
