The retention lists for IPL 2025 have been released, with franchises spending heavily from their 120-crore purses to secure their core groups. All eyes are now on the mega auction, set to take place at the end of November. In this auction, Punjab Kings will enter with the largest remaining budget, while Rajasthan Royals will have the least.
Punjab Kings Has the Highest Remaining Purse
All 10 teams submitted their retained players’ lists to the BCCI ahead of the mega auction. Punjab Kings retained only two players, releasing stars like Arshdeep Singh. The management kept Shashank Singh for 5.5 crore and Prabhsimran Singh for 4 crore, spending a total of 9.5 crore.
