All things are done and dusted now, as teams have finally revealed which players they retained for the upcoming IPL 2025. A few big omissions have snatched the spotlight, with no Rishabh Pant remaining with the Delhi Capitals and KL Rahul also parting ways with LSG. Adding to the surprises, MS Dhoni will enter IPL 2025 as an uncapped player, which is bound to be interesting. Overall, teams followed a structured retention strategy, from their first to sixth picks.
However, some teams broke the bank, spending significantly on individual players, with Heinrich Klaasen leading the list as SRH set to pay him 23 crore rupees for the upcoming season.
In terms of team retention structures, a total of 120 crore rupees has been allocated to the camps, and now, after retaining some big names, every team is set to see a reduction in their purse. For instance, the Rajasthan Royals have only 41 crore left, with their two retentions, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, set to earn 18 crores each. Also, their third retention, Riyan Parag, will receive 14 crores, while Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer will receive 14 crores and 11 crores, respectively. Finally, Sandeep Sharma will earn 4 crores. While teams like RR spent heavily, a few others saved a substantial amount ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
