MS Dhoni is likely to continue playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, and Ruturaj Gaikwad might also be in contention for CSK’s retention list.
MI has a big decision to make before the auction
MI has a big decision to make after last season’s backlash from the fans. They will have to make a decision on Rohit Sharma; their most successful captain in IPL (Indian Premier League) history. Also, MI might go with Hardik Pandya as their captain with Suryakumar Yadav also in the team.
RCB needs to decide on Faf du Plessis considering his age. They might retain Virat Kohli and Mohammad Siraj (either through direct retention or with the use of RTM). Also, the franchise has the option of retaining young Yash Dayal as an uncapped player and investing in him for a long time.
PBKS might use more RTM cards while DC has Rishabh Pant to show as far as face value is concerned. RR might retain Sanju Samson as he is a regular captain. KL Rahul is unlikely to stay with LSG while SRH will look to retain as many stars as possible. The current champions KKR will face a retention conundrum.
Every franchise will have to be precise about the IPL 2025 players retention and the mega auction. One mistake will cost them for the next three years as the next mega auction is after 3 years.
