What is RTM card?

Right to Match is a rule with the help of which any team can basically buy back its players in the mega auction. This was removed in the 2022 mega auction, but has now been reintroduced. Under this rule, when a player comes in the auction after his release, many teams bid on him.

After this, the team releasing that player is asked whether it wants to use RTM for that player. If he says yes, the team will have to pay an amount equal to the last bid placed in the auction for that player.

What is the total budget of IPL teams?

Before this time's mega auction, the purse of all 10 franchise teams has been increased to Rs 120 crore. Earlier this amount was Rs 110 crore, but now it has been increased. Any team will first have to spend Rs 18 crore from this budget on the retained player. After this, the teams will have to spend Rs 14 crore and Rs 11 crore for the second and third retention respectively.
