IPL 2022 Retentions Full LIST:

RCB Retained Players List: Virat Kohli (15 Cr) and Glenn Maxwell (11 Cr) accepted pay cuts while Siraj has witnessed a price rise from Rs 2.6 crore to 7 Crore.

Why Yuzvendra Chahal was not retained? According to the available information Chahal didn’t agree to be the No. 3 retention since he would have got only Rs 7 crore. Chahal felt that he can got more from the AUCTION POOL – this is the reason franchise decided to let go their most succesful spinner.

The other possible reason of Chahal getting released can be that RCB still don’t have a captain and need a strong auction purse to purchase a high-profile player.

Not only Chahal but RCB also released IPL Purple cap winner Harshal Patel & young opening batsman Devdutt Padikkal.

One key stumbling block here was the low price tag for the fourth player – INR 6 crore – which is likely to have dissuaded the likes of Padikkal and Harshal, who would have preferred a higher price after consistent impact in the last season especially.
