IPL Retention proved bad for 6 captains, 5 got leave, one’s salary decreased and someone’s value decreased.

IPL retained list: The retained list of IPL 2025 came on the day of Diwali. It made many cricketers rich, while some went bankrupt. This retention proved to be very bad for the IPL captains. Half of the 10 captains have been dismissed by their teams. Whereas the salary of the sixth has been reduced. It can be said that only 40 percent captains were able to save their ‘honour’.

IPL winning captain out of the team
The most surprising IPL retention of 2025 came from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Shreyas Iyer, despite making Kolkata Knight Riders the champion as captain, could not make it to the retained list. KKR had given a contract of Rs 12.25 crore to Iyer in the last season. KKR has retained six players for IPL 2025. Out of these, the maximum money has been offered to Rinku Singh (13 crores). It is believed that money could be one of the reasons for not working out between Shreyas Iyer and KKR. This means that KKR management may not be ready for the amount that Iyer is asking for to be retained.

Virat-Bumrah have a profit of Rs 6 crore each, Dhoni has a loss of Rs 8 crore, 5 big things about IPL Retention

Pant-Rahul-Dhawan-Duplessis also not retained
Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and Faf du Plessis, who captained in the IPL, have also not been retained. Pant had returned after injury last season and took command of Delhi Capitals. KL Rahul was the captain of Lucknow Supergiants from the beginning, but will not be there now. Among the big controversies of IPL 2024 was the video of the conversation between KL Rahul and team owner Sanjiv Goenka, in which the style of talking to the captain was not considered appropriate. Shikhar Dhawan, who captained Punjab Kings last season, has retired. Faf du Plessis is 40 years old. he/she is also a foreigner and many times he/she has to be forcibly included in the playing eleven when he/she is not in form. Perhaps this is the reason why Royal Challengers Bangalore did not retain him/her.

Runner-up captain’s salary reduced by Rs 2.5 crore
Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was the runner-up in IPL 2024, has reduced the salary of its captain Pat Cummins. SRH had bought him/her last time for Rs 20.50 crore. This time his/her salary will be Rs 18 crore. The special thing is that Heinrich Klaasen of this team will get Rs 23 crores.

Yashasvi’s jump of 14 crores, Rinku’s gain of 12 crores and Rajat’s gain of 10 crores, whose money is Diwali in IPL Retention, who is rich?

Bumrah gets more salary than Pandya, Cummins’ salary reduced
Mumbai Indians have retained most of their veterans and have also changed the salary structure. Now Jasprit Bumrah will get the most money. his/her salary has been increased to Rs 18 crore. Captain Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav both will get Rs 16.35 crore. Rohit Sharma’s salary has been increased from Rs 16 crore to Rs 16.30 crore. In this way, Pandya has also become one of those captains who are not the most expensive players of their team. Gujarat Titans are also giving more wages to Rashid Khan (18 crores) than their captain Shubhman Gill (16.50 crores). However, unlike Cummins, Gill’s salary has not been reduced. he/she got only Rs 8 crore from his/her franchise last season.
