IPL 2022 player auction: It’s time for retention!

MI skipper Rohit Sharma

Some will unveil their core, while others might just go with a clean slate when the deadline to retain players ends on Tuesday for the eight existing IPL franchises.

Most teams have been making a last-ditch effort to keep players of their choice in the lead up to the mega auction next year. After the eight teams finalise their retention plans, new franchises - Lucknow and Ahmedabad - will pick a maximum of three players between December 1 and 25 before the mega auction in January.

Here are some players who could stay on

Delhi Capitals: Skipper Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel and South African Anrich Nortje will be retained

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard look set to be retained

CSK: Leader MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja and Ruturaj Gaekwad will be retained. It's a tough pick in the overseas retention between Moeen Ali and Faf du Plessis

Punjab Kings: Skipper KL Rahul may go back into the auction while the uncapped Arshdeep Singh and Ravi Bishnoi could be retained
