IPL 2025 Final Retentions

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is not just the biggest domestic cricket league in the world; it’s also one of the most competitive. Founded in 2008 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the league started with eight teams but has now expanded to a 10-team format. The IPL features some of the best players in the world, all coming to India to participate in a league and knockout tournament that is a true test of their skills and strategy, all vying to be crowned champions.

The league is set to have a mega auction ahead of the 2025 IPL season, which will see the majority of the teams get shuffled around. Almost the entirety of the roosters will be available at the auction, with different franchises going in hard for the players they think would fit their team best.

With the rules set for retention, the IPL 2025 mega auction is set to be the biggest auction in the history of the league. Big-name players like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Jos Buttler, Arshdeep Singh, and many more are set to enter the auction, which will create some huge bidding wars. This article talks about the players who have been retained by the franchises ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction.
