The retention process, especially ahead of a mega auction, is always shrouded in suspense, with teams permitted only six total retentions. This can be done through direct retention or the Right to Match (RTM) card, which is returning for the first time since the 2018 Mega Auction.
The price structure for retentions includes set amounts of ₹18 Crore, ₹14 Crore, and ₹11 Crore for three capped players. If a team opts to keep two additional capped players, they will need to allocate ₹18 Crore and ₹14 Crore from their budget for those players.
