The five franchises - Mumbai Indians (MI), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Delhi Capitals (DC), Gujarat Giants (GG), and UP Warriorz (UPW) - have made some bold calls while finalizing their retentions.
Each franchise was informed that they will be allowed to retain a maximum of five players, including direct retentions or the Right to Match (RTM) option.
As per the guidelines, the franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of three Indian capped players, two overseas players, or two uncapped Indian players. Depending on the number of players retained, the corresponding deductions from the purse of the teams were: Rs 9.25 crore for five players, Rs 8.75 crore for four, Rs 7.75 crore for three, Rs 6 crore for two, and Rs 3.5 crore for one.

Also, the teams retaining four players will get one RTM, while those retaining three will have two RTMs available, and so on. Overall, the teams will have a purse of INR 15 crore at the auction.
