IPL Retentions, done with plenty of surprises, were revealed to everyone, as now there is no Rishabh Pant in DC, no KL Rahul with LSG, and even IPL 2024-winning captain Shreyas Iyer will be looking for a new IPL jersey since he has also been released by KKR and will go under the hammer. There is no question that the upcoming auction is going to be big, with all the superstars expected to command high amounts.
Speaking of retentions, many teams have tactically secured their core groups and spent wisely. For example, Punjab Kings spent only on two players, uncapped Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh. The side now has 110.50 crore rupees available, whereas other teams have invested heavily in retaining their core players. See which team has the least amount left in their purse ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Which IPL team has less money left ahead of the IPL 2025 auction?
The Rajasthan Royals have only 41 crores left, with their two retentions, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal, set to earn 18 crores each. Their third retention, Riyan Parag, will receive 14 crores, while Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer will earn 14 crores and 11 crores, respectively. Also, Sandeep Sharma will earn 4 crores.
