Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, all 10 franchises have released the list of their respective retained players. This time a total of 46 players have been retained. CSK fans rejoiced with joy after seeing Dhoni's name in the list of retained players of Chennai Super Kings. This time Dhoni has been retained by Chennai as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore. According to the rules of the Board of Control for Cricket in India i.e. BCCI, if a player has not played international cricket for 5 years, then the franchise can retain him as an uncapped player. CSK took advantage of this rule and kept Mahi with them, but do you know who apart from CSK has taken advantage of this rule of BCCI?
Rajasthan Royals led by Sanju Samson have taken advantage of this. Yes, RR has kept Sandeep Sharma in its list of retained players, who is an international player and has not announced his retirement yet. Rajasthan Royals has retained Sandeep Sharma for Rs 4 crore.
Let us tell you, Sandeep Sharma made his debut for India in 2015. During that time, he got a chance to play 2 T20Is on the Zimbabwe tour under the leadership of Ajikya Rahane. Sandeep had taken 1 wicket during that period, but after that he never got a chance to play in the blue jersey.
Rajasthan Royals have retained six key players, including captain Sanju Samson, ahead of the IPL auction later this year. Apart from Samson, the retained list includes Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Ryan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer and Sandeep Sharma. RR now have only Rs 41 crore left in the auction and they will not even have RTM.
