Many
high
profile
names
figured
in
the
Retention
List
including
Virat
Kohli,
MS
Dhoni,
Rohit
Sharma,
Jasprit
Bumrah,
Kane
Williamson
etc.

Some
promising
youngsters
like
Mohammad
Siraj,
Ruturaj
Gaikwad,
Yashasvi
Jaiswal
too
avoided
being
auctioned.

But
some
other
star
players
missed
the
retention
contract
and
will
go
under
the
hammer
during
the
IPL
mega
auction
in
December
or
January.

There
are
several
reasons
why
some
of
them
did
not
feature
in
the
retention
list.
The
primary
reason
the
cap
on
retained
players
—
four,
and
secondly
it
was
viable
for
the
franchise
to
release
some
of
them
who
commanded
a
high
price
tag
like
Chris
Morris,
who
joined
Rajasthan
Royals
for
a
whopping
Rs
18
crore.

Some
of
them
like
Rashid
Khan
or
talented
India
youngster
like
Shah
Rukh
Khan
could
also
be
bought
back
by
their
old
franchises.

While
some
other
players
like
David
Warner
was
destined
not
to
feature
in
retention
list
after
a
soured
bilateral
relation.

are
