IPL Retention: Most shocking omissions

Bengaluru, November 30: The high-octane IPL Player Retention process ended on Tuesday (November 30) night.

Many high profile names figured in the Retention List including Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Kane Williamson etc.

Some promising youngsters like Mohammad Siraj, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Yashasvi Jaiswal too avoided being auctioned.

But some other star players missed the retention contract and will go under the hammer during the IPL mega auction in December or January.

There are several reasons why some of them did not feature in the retention list. The primary reason the cap on retained players — four, and secondly it was viable for the franchise to release some of them who commanded a high price tag like Chris Morris, who joined Rajasthan Royals for a whopping Rs 18 crore.

Some of them like Rashid Khan or talented India youngster like Shah Rukh Khan could also be bought back by their old franchises.

While some other players like David Warner was destined not to feature in retention list after a soured bilateral relation.

Chennai Super Kings: Faf du Plessis (could be bought back in auction), Suresh Raina, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Robin Uthappa (could be bought back).
