Franchise Could use RTM for These 3 Players IPL Mega Auction: All 10 franchises together have retained 47 players for IPL 2025. This time the player to be retained for the biggest amount is South Africa's Heinrich Klaasen. He has been retained by SRH for Rs 23 crores. At the same time, the highest earning player among Indian players was Virat Kohli. RCB spent Rs 21 crore to retain Kohli.
Many franchises will have a chance to buy some of their key players again in the mega auction. Some franchisees can strengthen their core group through RTM cards. KKR and Rajasthan Royals will not have this chance. Both the franchises have retained 6-6 players.
In this article we will mention those 3 players for whom franchises can use RTM cards.
3. Marcus Stoinis
Australia's star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has been playing for Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL for the last three seasons. His performance has been quite good in the last two seasons. Despite this, the franchise decided to release Stoinis. Stoinis is a key player of the team and the franchise would definitely like to make him a part of their squad using RTM in the mega auction. His experience can be very useful for the team. LSG has retained Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan and Ayush Badoni.
2. Arshdeep Singh
Taking a big decision, Punjab Kings have retained only two players before the mega auction. It was expected that Arshdeep Singh would definitely be included in the retention list of Punjab, but it did not happen. Punjab has retained Shashank Singh and Prabhsimran Singh. Punjab has four RTMs left, so they can easily buy Arshdeep Singh once again in the mega auction and make him a part of their squad. Arshdeep has had a 6-year-old relationship with the franchise.
1. Ishan Kishan
Ishan Kishan has been in the news for some time for his excellent form. He is a part of the core group of Mumbai Indians, but considering the budget, the franchise could not retain him. Mumbai has saved an RTM card, so there is every expectation that the franchise will use it to buy Ishan in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
