What is RTM card?
The RTM card gives the franchise the right to add the amount of the highest bid placed for a player in the auction after viewing the same. Suppose RCB releases Virat Kohli and he goes into the auction.

During the auction, many franchises bid on him and finally Chennai Super Kings bought Virat Kohli by bidding Rs 20 crore. So RCB can add Virat Kohli by paying Rs 20 crore using RTM card.
