IPL Retentions Deadline Day – As it happens

Franchise Retentions

  • SRH to retain Klaasen, Cummins, Head, Abhishek and Nitish: Sunrisers Hyderabad have locked in on their five retentions, including Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Nitish Reddy. Nitish Reddy's retainer amount is INR 6 crores.
  • Shreyas Iyer unlikely to be retained by KKR: Defending champions KKR are unlikely to retain their championship-winning captain Shreyas Iyer.
  • Nicholas Pooran retained by LSG: LSG have hedged their bets on Nicholas Pooran, agreeing on a INR 18 crores deal.

IPL Retention Rules

  • Franchises can retain a maximum of five capped players (Indian/Overseas) and a maximum of two uncapped players.
  • Each uncapped player retained will be valued at INR 4 crores.
  • The five capped player retentions will be valued as follows:
    Direct Retention Player Value
    Retained Player 1 INR 18 crores
    Retained Player 2 INR 14 crores
    Retained Player 3 INR 11 crores
    Retained Player 4 INR 18 crores
    Retained Player 5 INR 14 crores
  • Franchises are free to pay more or less than the standardised amounts to their retained players.

New RTM Rule

  • The RTM rule comes with a twist this year: the highest bidder will be given one final opportunity to further raise their bid before the team holding the RTM claims the player.
