IPL Retention Day LIVE Updates: Will Delhi Capitals Let Go Rishabh Pant?

Will Royal Challengers Bengaluru leave out Mohammed Siraj? The franchise might be very much interested in retaining Yash Dayal for four crore as the left-arm seamer showcased consistency last season. RCB's other two retentions could be Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar.

Well, with KL Rahul reported to go into the auction pool, the Lucknow Super Giants seem to have reached an agreement with Nicholas Pooran for a whopping 20 crore retention. And if at all the rumour turns out to be true, the left-handed showstopper could become one of the highest paid retained players in the history of the league.

As things stand, the Chennai Super Kings are set to retain Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, and MS Dhoni, who will fall in the uncapped category as his last India appearance was back in the 2019 ODI World Cup. The franchise could enter the auction with one RTM and might pull it out for one of their New Zealand openers in Devon Conway or Rachin Ravindra. 

Well, reports have been flying like no tomorrow. However, today’s the day things get real. Will Lucknow Super Giants retain KL Rahul? Shreyas Iyer is also said to be leaving the Kolkata Knight Riders. And could Delhi Capitals afford to leave Rishabh Pant, if at all they are thinking about it?
