Retained.

I was hoping Rohit asked to be released so he can try his luck captaining another side. But looks like Bambani money was strong enough 

Hope Pandya gets booed a lot again

Biggest shock is SRH finally not retaining Bhuvi kumar.

Sorry to disappoint you but it looks like they came to their senses

Big Big Money for Klaasen and Pooran.

Rohit retained for 16 c. C'mon buddy you are a statesman now. You should leave that money for the younger kids.

[Stan AF]

Nehal wadhera kid was quite good. MI should get him.

[Stan AF]

Kolkata (KKR, my 2nd favourite team) would have been a killer unit and would achieve more than both MI & CSK (in my opinion) if they somehow manage to get their 2024 squad by hook or crook.

 

They have left out Phil salt, starcy and Venkatesh Iyer. Not to mention their captain shreyas too. This is a killer team, imo and their management should try and bring the squad back together.

not retained Arshdeep and Ashutosh. First one is believable but not Ashutosh

DSP Saab released

Don't get the hype to take Klassen with 23 cr - sure he is a beast against spin but guy chokes when team needs him most and rarely finishes games. Kavya went overboard imo.

[Vickydev]

Knight Riders will bully the rest of the teams again. Such a strong core.

 

Rana and Ramandeep for a combined 8cr is just cheating at this point. The latter esp for his price is a much better option than Reddy in this format

Case in point - T20 WC final

Jurel at 14cr? WTF were they thinking? They already have Samson as a keeper. Why spend 14cr on Jurel? They could have easily got Buttler at that price.

Along expected lines. Arshdeep at 18cr was a bit steep. They will surely RTM him for a likely lower price.

I'm only surprised at Prabhsimran over Ashutosh

Venky Mysore is smart. Saved some 12 crores there, although doesn't go towards the auction purse.

Wonder how he got Rinku and Russell to agree to 5-6cr lesser than the IPL suggested retention price

ICT fans lol

CSK, DC along expected lines. Expect them to go for Rachin and Fraser Mc-Gurk respectively as RTM options

When our coach decides to "viral fever" out a fast bowler to keep him uncapped for IPL, what else do you expect?
