Kohli-Rohit, Dhoni-Pant… How was the IPL retention for whom, who got 40% jump, who is the king and who is the loser?

IPL retained list: The retained list of IPL 2025 came on 31st October i.e. the day of Diwali. Due to this retention, the purse of many players increased and the status of many. While someone’s rule remained intact, someone left the old days and set out on a new journey. Talking about Indian greats, Virat Kohli emerged as the biggest winner while MS Dhoni’s salary was reduced to one-third. Rohit Sharma slipped from first to fourth position in terms of high salary in his/her own team. Rishabh Pant’s talks with Delhi did not work out and now his/her whereabouts may be somewhere else. A look at 5 greats of India.

1. Virat Kohli is the greatest player
Virat Kohli proved to be the biggest player to emerge from the IPL 2025 retained list. King Kohli’s salary has increased by 40%. Now he/she will get Rs 21 crore instead of Rs 15. There are reports that Royal Challengers Bangalore can make Virat Kohli the captain again. It can be said that King Kohli’s reign continues.

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

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?

2. Rohit’s salary did not increase even by 2 percent
When Rohit Sharma was removed from the captaincy of Mumbai Indians last year, his/her fans were very upset with it. he/she also trolled the new captain Hardik Pandya. Despite this, there is every possibility that Rohit will once again be seen playing under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya. Rohit Sharma’s salary has increased by 1.87% in IPL 2025 retention. Now he/she will get Rs 16.30 crore instead of Rs 16 crore. It can be said that this retention was not very good for Rohit.

3. MS Dhoni’s salary decreased by 66 percent
MS Dhoni has suffered a big loss in IPL retention. his/her salary has decreased by 66.66 percent. Chennai Super Kings had retained Dhoni for Rs 12 crores last season. This season too, Dhoni has been retained as an uncapped player for Rs 4 crore. In this way he/she has directly suffered a loss of Rs 8 crore. According to the new rules of IPL, there can be two types of uncapped players. First, those who have not played a single international match and second, those who have said goodbye to international cricket 5 years ago.

4. Delhi did not retain Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant was one of the 5 captains who have not been retained by their franchise for IPL 2025. Pant, who returned from injury only six months ago, is performing well. In such a situation, it is not easy for Pant’s fans to understand Delhi’s decision. Delhi Capitals had retained Pant last year by paying Rs 16 crore. Now he/she will enter IPL auction 2025. It is believed that the biggest bid can be made on Pant. In such a situation, they may not suffer any salary loss. But the truth as of now is that Delhi has not retained him/her.

5. Bumrah’s salary is more than that of his/her captain
Like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah’s salary has also increased by Rs 6 crore. Now Bumrah has become the king of Mumbai Indians in terms of salary. he/she has been retained for IPL 2025 for Rs 18 crore. In this team, captain Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav have been retained for Rs 16.35 crore. Rohit Sharma’s contract has been increased from Rs 16 crore to Rs 16.30 crore.
