The current IPL retention policy has become a hot topic, especially in light of MS Dhoni’s situation. Many franchises are pushing for an increase in the number of players they can retain. Under the current rules, a franchise can retain a maximum of three Indian players and two overseas players before the auction. However, there is growing support among franchises to raise this limit to eight. Additionally, some reports suggest that teams are advocating for the reintroduction of the Right to Match (RTM) option, which was last available in the 2018 auction.
