IPL 2025 Retention Free Live Streaming: When, Where And How to Watch Announcement Of Retained Players Live Telecast On TV, Mobile Apps And Online

There is no limit on retaining overseas players. Teams can retain only foreign players if they choose, but the purse deduction will follow standard rules applicable to capped players.

Every franchise will start with a purse of ₹120 crore. Retaining multiple capped players can lead to substantial deductions, so strategic management of the purse is crucial for effective team-building. Teams retaining fewer than six players can use Right-To-Match (RTM) cards during the auction to reacquire players. The number of RTM options available correlates with the number of players retained.  

Each uncapped player costs ₹4 crore, significantly impacting the team’s auction purse. If a team pays a capped player below their retained value, the deduction will still be based on the highest bracket.
