The IPL 2025 retention list has been announced as all ten franchises have revealed the list of players who will continue with them for the upcoming season.

BCCI announced the extravagant list of the retained players on Thursday (October 31), the auspicious day of Diwali.

A total of 46 players have been retained by the ten IPL franchises and the other players will now be heading for the auction, which is set to take place next month in Riyadh.

The mega auction will witness a plethora of big names under the hammer, as Indian stars such as Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Mohammed Shami are among the players who will appear in the auction.

The IPL retention rule earmarked a premium value for the franchises to keep hold of their star players from last season. Although the total purse has been increased to Rs 120 crore, if a franchise keep five capped players, they will have Rs 75 crore slashed from their kitty.

As per the norms, the franchises can only keep as many as six players from last season, which can be attained through retentions or usage of the Right to Match (RTM) card during the auction.

What is Right to Match Card in IPL 2025 Auction? What is the latest RTM Rule?

A Right to Match (RTM) card can be used by a franchise to match the bid of a team for a player who was released by them. The teams can use the RTM cards only if they leave out slots from their maximum six retentions. (eg: 5 Retentions, 1 RTM; 4 Retentions, 2 RTMs)

The RTM rule has been changed in the IPL 2025 as well. Previously, a team could match the winning bid and acquire the player at the same price. In the IPL 2025 auction, after the usage of the RTM card by the old franchise, the team with the winning bid will be asked if they want to raise the value. If the old franchise matches the newly-risen value (if opted by the bidding team), then only they can buy back their player.
