There is a mega auction placed ahead of the coming edition in 2025, which will force all ten teams to release most of their key performers.</p>



<p>Every team can only retain a total of 4 players. That's where we will see some big superstars come at the auction. All franchises and the BCCI had a meeting on July 31 to discuss the auction, details, and RTM for the coming season.</p>



<p>But what is an RTM card, and how is it used in an IPL auction? This rule is very important for an<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/indian-premier-league/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/t20/indian-premier-league/"> IPL team</a> to get back their key players. So, let's discuss the RTM card and its use.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is an RTM card and how is it used in an IPL auction?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Explained_-What-is-RTM-Card-Why-is-it-important-in-IPL-2025-Mega-Auction-1024x532.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-145101" /></figure>



<p>During a mega auction, an IPL team owner needs to take care of many things. They can buy the players with the highest bid, but a RTM card is something which should be used wisely. The Right to Match (RTM) card can help a team sign whom they have released.</p>



<p>This rule is open only during the mega auction, just like the coming <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2025-kavya-maran-shows-high-business-professionalism-the-srh-owner-suggests-a-bunch-of-changes-to-the-bcci-including-a-ban-on-foreign-players-who-fail-to-show-up-and-many-more/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2025-kavya-maran-shows-high-business-professionalism-the-srh-owner-suggests-a-bunch-of-changes-to-the-bcci-including-a-ban-on-foreign-players-who-fail-to-show-up-and-many-more/">IPL 2025 auction</a>. Because ahead of a mega auction, all teams have to release most of their key players, so the RTM card gives them an option to sign the unretained players during the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/10-low-budget-players-who-might-face-a-significant-rise-in-their-price-in-the-ipl-2025-mega-auction/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/10-low-budget-players-who-might-face-a-significant-rise-in-their-price-in-the-ipl-2025-mega-auction/">mega auction.</a></p>

<p>In simple words, an RTM card is an option where a franchise can buy their released player by matching the value that they were sold during the auction. But there is a limitation to it. Generally, ahead of the mega auction, every team gets a chance to retain five players.</p>



<p>Let's suppose a team retains three players, then they will have two Right to Match card options during the auction. If a franchise retains two, then they can use three Right to Match cards to fill the quota of five retentions. It will be used during the auction when the player's bid is going on by matching the highest amount that the player got.</p>

Explained: What is RTM Card; Why is it important in IPL 2025 Mega Auction

what-is-rtm-card-ipl-2025-auction

<p><strong>IPL 2025 Auction:</strong> The possible return of the ?Uncapped Player Rule? ahead of next year's IPL 2025 has been a highly discussed topic among cricket experts and fans across the globe, as the return of this rule might allow CSK?s former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni to continue playing the IPL for a few more years.</p>



<p>According to some news reports, the five time IPL winners had reportedly requested the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) to bring the uncapped-player rule back, which let?s a player who has retired from international cricket for a minimum of five years get retained as an uncapped player by the IPL franchises. This rule was introduced in the inaugural edition of the cash-rich T20 league in 2008 before being removed in 2021. If this rule makes a comeback ahead of IPL 2025, then Chennai Super Kings can retain the services of the legendary MS Dhoni till IPL 2027, and getting retained as an uncapped player will mean that CSK?s salary cap will not get affected?as?well.</p>



<p>However, CSK?s CEO Kasi Viswanathan has denied asking the BCCI to bring the Uncapped-player rule back. He went on to say that the Indian Cricket Governing Body had let the five time IPL winners know that they themselves are planning to bring the rule back.</p>



<p>?I don't have any idea about asking the BCCI to bring the uncapped-player rule back. We didn't request that they bring it back. The BCCI themselves informed us and the other franchises that the Uncapped-player rule may get reintroduced. They haven't given any concrete confirmation regarding the rule making a comeback ahead of IPL 2025,? Kasi Viswanathan told Times of India?s Gaurav Gupta in?an?interview.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/MS-Dhoni-to-play-in-IPL-2025-for-CSK-1024x576.jpg" alt="MS Dhoni all set to play in IPL 2025 as Uncapped player; BCCI to bring old retention rule" class="wp-image-145713" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">MS Dhoni</figcaption></figure>



<p>In accordance with the previous rules of retention, an uncapped player can get retained by an IPL franchise for a maximum price of 4 Crore Indian Rupees. In the mega auction of IPL 2022, the Yellow Army had retained MS Dhoni as a capped player for 12 Crore Indian Rupees. Dhoni helped the franchise lift the IPL trophy for the fifth time in 2023.</p>



<p>However, just a few days before the beginning of IPL 2024, the legendary skipper announced that he would step down as the captain of the Chennai-based franchise, and opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad would take over the leadership duties from him. Under the leadership of Gaikwad, the Men in Yellow ended IPL 2024 in fifth place in the league phase of?the?tournament.</p>



<p>MSD played some really entertaining and fabulous cameos for CSK in the previous edition of the Indian Premier League and ended the tournament with an outstanding strike rate of 220.55 next to his name. The Super Kings fans will want their Thala to play one more season in the IPL before calling a day on what has proven to be a really legendary?career.</p>

<p>The Indian Premier League, IPL has always been a dominating platform for batters as several players have had the best of the Indian batting tracks. Players like Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, Rohit Sharma, ABD, Suryakumar and many more have emerged as winners for their teams on many occasions. <br><br>However, the T20 game is not completed without the most lethal bowlers, and India have produced many such. Not only to the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammad Shami</a> and Bhuveneshwar Kumar, several young or experienced domestic pacers have often come to the rising with their supreme calibre in pace bowling. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="lets-take-a-look-at-the-top-5-domestic-pace-bowlers">Let?s take a look at the Top 5 domestic pace bowlers: </h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="5-thangarasu-natarajan">5. Thangarasu Natarajan</h3>



<p>The Tamil Nadu based left-arm pacer has been a part of the Sunrisers camp for quite some time and he has emerged as their team?s lead bowler. Bowling alongside greats like Bhuvi and now skipper Cummins, Natarajan has yet emerged to be their highest wicket-taker. <br><br>Though the left-armer has not played for India since 2021 any further for India, yet he remains one of IPL?s most reliable pacers, especially with his ability to excel in death overs. If released from the SRH, he will hold a special place in every team?s radar.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="4-avesh-khan">4. Avesh Khan</h3>



<p>The Royals pacer played a full season in absence of Prasidh Krishna, and emerged as a top class bowling choice for the skipper with both the new ball and the death overs as well. Avesh has since then made to Indian team as well as he was also a part of the reserves team for India?s T20 World Cup campaign. <br><br>Avesh might not be among the players to be released by Royals, however, if so he might be one of the most hyped pacers with the largest of sums to be acquired. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Avesh-Khan-Royals-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-146549" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Avesh Khan starred as a Royals pacer (Image Credit: Times of India)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-harshit-rana">3. Harshit Rana </h3>



<p>Kolkata Knight Riders never looked a very impressive bowling deck with only Mitchell Starc in their deck. It was only when Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora the two youngsters emerged as massive wicket-taking options alongside their spinners and Andre Russell. <br><br>Rana was earlier picked for the Zimbabwe as well as Sri Lanka tour, and since then he has been awaiting a debut for the Men in Blue. Rana will be horse over whom Kolkata will pin their money yet he remains a major target in the mega-auction. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-harshal-patel">2. Harshal Patel </h3>



<p>Harshal Patel has been in the buzz since his full season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore, as he broke the Dwayne Bravo record for most wickets in a single season. He was then moved to Punjab Kings for a huge purse of 11 Crores INR a sum which seemed too high for an Indian bowler. <br><br>However, it was Harshal who stepped as Punjab Kings' lead wicket-taker and also their highest wicket-taker on another occasion in IPL 2024, as he remains one of the best bowlers in the competition with the large amount of variability he brings to the side. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/Harshal-Patel-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146550" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Harshal Patel the highest wicket taker in 2024 (Image Credit: India TV News)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-tushar-deshpande">1. Tushar Deshpande</h3>



<p>The top on the list is none other than, CSK?s Wonderman, Tushar Deshpande. As the Mumbai youngster has often emerged as their top choice among death bowlers. While like Avesh, Tushar has also bowled equally well with both the new and old ball. <br><br>If the player is not among the retained options for CSK, then he surely gets the backing of several teams who are in need of such an efficient bowler in the powerplay as well as at the end of the innings.<br></p>

<p>The IPL 2025 auction is peeking around the corner, and hence every team will be awaited to issue their retention list. However, many such players might be released ahead of the auction despite their immense value, this is due to the limited number of retentions made available by the IPL committee to the franchises. <br><br>The shortest format of cricket has always produced a huge demand for all-rounders, players who can bat and deliver quality with the ball as well. Many such players have starred in the previous editions of the Indian Premier League and have contributed immensely to the domination of several teams. <br><br>Likely all-rounders like Dwayne Bravo, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kieron_Pollard">Kieron Pollard</a>, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Hardik Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell and many such greats donned the immensely great league in the world. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="liam-livingstone">Liam Livingstone</h3>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Liam-Livingstone-PBKS-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148241" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Liam Livingstone for PBKS in IPL (Image: ESPNcricinfo)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Fine English all-rounder, England?s most stunning and currently ICC-ranked World no.1 all-rounder, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liam_Livingstone">Liam Livingstone</a> climbed above many after his special performances with both bat and ball against Australia in the T20I series. <br><br>Livingstone in recent times has bettered with the ball, as he has emerged as a quality leg-spinner and a major wicket-taking option, while he is also a great finisher with the bat. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="sam-curran">Sam Curran</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Sam-Curran-IPL.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-148244" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sam Curran (Image: X.com)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>The English all-rounder was IPL?s costliest ever player in the history of the competition until the two World Cup winners were bought for a whopping 20.5 crores and 24.75 crores INR in the last auction. <br><br>Sam Curran has been an ever-evolving cricketer, as he has performed with the bat at all phases in the batting order, while he has scored quick runs at all positions from being a batter at no.3 to the role of a finisher down the order. Curran has often been seen indulging in expert spells as a left-arm medium pacer and has extracted wickets. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="will-jacks">Will Jacks </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Will-Jacks-RCB-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-148242" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Will Jacks (Image: Times of India)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Another English name in the list, the spin bowling all-rounder is a stunning player who plays across all global franchise-level games. Jacks has often been seen playing as an opener, just like he scored a splendid century in the last season for the RCB. <br><br>Jacks can also be a handy all-rounder as he can bowl some overs of quality off-spin and is especially useful on tracks that tend to facilitate spin. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="cameron-green">Cameron Green </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/10/Cam-Green-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-148243" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The Giant West Australian continues his good form (Image: Cricket Australia)</figcaption></figure>
</figure>



<p>Green, the lanky-built Australian all-rounder from Western Australia, was earlier a renowned test cricketer, however, as of now he has also been relished in limited-overs cricket as well. Green was first brought into the IPL by the Mumbai Indians and in his very first season he was bought for a huge sum of 17.5 Crores INR.<br><br>Though his last season after his move to RCB didn?t go as planned, he played stunningly for Australia and will again be seen in a new franchise probably in another IPL edition. Yet Green might be the target of many franchises who are in the quest for an all-rounder who comes to bat in the middle-order. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="wanindu-hasaranga">Wanindu Hasaranga </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



<p>Hasaranga once reckoned as the best spinner in T20 cricket, now after suffering repetitive injuries has faced a backlash in their performance. Hasaranga the Lankan skipper stepped down from his position, as he emerged as their best spinning option. <br><br>Hasaranga can also score quick runs down the order, as Hasaranga is a good slogger whenever he comes down the order, often recognised for playing quick and short cameos, of 20s and 30s down the order. </p>

<p>IPL 2025: Over the years, the Indian Premier League has served as a common platform for players worldwide, allowing them to establish themselves in international franchise cricket after making their debut in the league.<br> <br>Many players, even before their commanding debut in international cricket, have been recognized in the IPL, and their stunning shows in the IPL have placed them into their national teams. The likes of players like Glenn Maxwell, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan_Stubbs">Tristan Stubbs</a>, and Sunil Narine have been among the world?s most recognized talents who have been hand-picked owing to their special performances in the different editions of the IPL. <br> <br>Alongside these overseas superstars, countless Indian talents have made their way into the Indian team from being placed in IPL teams, which include the likes of Indian genius all-rounder Hardik Pandya, current skipper Suryakumar Yadav, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, and the latest inclusions like Rinku Singh, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riyan_Parag">Riyan Parag</a>, and Mayank Yadav. <br> <br>Hence, let's take a look at some of the most underrated players who can be included by the franchises, and they might make a revolution in their career. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="marco-jansen">Marco Jansen</h3>



<p>The Protea all-rounder has not been included in recent times in the national side, since the Proteas are looking to load an entirely new setup since the T20 World Cup. He was last seen in the World Cup final against India. <br> <br>Jansen has previously starred for SRH, and not many teams have an all-rounder of his quality. Jansen can share the new ball and can also be a very effective run-scorer down the order who can also add quick runs while playing cameos. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="glenn-phillips">Glenn Phillips </h3>



<p>Phillips has been New Zealand?s top-choice all-rounder option across all formats, as he surpassed the likes of Michael Bracewell as well as Mitchell Santner, not only in terms of runs scored but also the number of wickets he has starred for. <br> <br>Phillips is one of the most sound all-rounders who can be an asset in the IPL, as he can often be effective with his off-spin, while also being known as one of the most aggressive players on any team. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="will-jacks">Will Jacks </h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



<p>English opener, Jack has been for long a considerable face for global franchises around the world. Will Jacks is often considered one of the finest top-order batters, with stunning roles played as an opener or a batsman among the top 3. <br> <br>Last time around, he was seen playing for the Royal Challengers and was not seen much sharing the ball; however, for England as well as other franchises in global leagues, he has proved himself effective with the ball. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="noor-ahmed">Noor Ahmed</h3>



<p>Noor Ahmed, the Afghan rising spinner, often makes his place into the side after Mujeeb has been often turned down since his dismal show in the World Cup 2023. Noor has been an often-featured player for the Gujarat Titans. <br> <br>A spinner of Noor?s quality would be in high demand in the Indian subcontinent, as several teams would be in the hunt for a spinner of this much class. Franchises like Mumbai Indians, SRH, and Punjab Kings have faced serious trouble in the spin department. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="sikander-raza">Sikander Raza</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped">

</figure>



<p>Zimbabwe all-rounder and current skipper of the national side should be the perfect example of an underrated player, as Raza has been the most special performer one can be across all white-ball formats. <br> <br>Raza is one of the finest middle-order batters, while he is also the best among off-spinners, and his quality as a bowler is undoubtedly profound. Previously picked by PBKS for a minor 50 lakh INR only, and still, he served to the best of his level while replacing the injured Liam Livingstone from the first half of the competition. <br> <br>This time around, his price might take a new level, owing to the brilliance he brings with him and the demand for an all-rounder for several teams. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How many IPL matches are there in 2025?</h3>



<p>The 2025 Indian Premier League will feature 74 matches, adhering to the structure of group stages followed by playoffs.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">When is the IPL auction in 2025?</h3>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will IPL 2025 have 12 teams?</h3>



<p>No, IPL 2025 will feature ten teams. This edition, also known as IPL 18 and branded as TATA IPL 2025, will continue with the existing team structure, rather than expanding to 12 teams.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How many RTM cards are in IPL 2025?</h3>



<p>In IPL 2025, the number of <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/what-is-rtm-card-ipl-2025-auction/" data-type="post" data-id="145089">Right To Match (RTM)</a> cards available will depend on the retention strategy of each team. A team that retains six players will not have any RTM cards, while a team that does not retain any players will have six RTM cards. These cards allow teams to regain one of their released players during the auction by matching the highest bid.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">In which month will IPL 2025 start?</h3>



<p>IPL 2025 is expected to start in March and run through May, similar to IPL 2024. This timeframe has been chosen to ensure minimal overlap with international cricket fixtures.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will IPL 2025 have 84 matches?</h3>



<p>Initially, there were discussions about IPL 2025 having 84 matches, as was the case for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to limit the number of matches to 74 to help manage the workload of Team India players ahead of the World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2025.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How many retentions are allowed for IPL 2025?</h3>



<p>Teams are permitted to retain a total of six players from their existing squads, which can be done through direct retention or by utilizing RTM options during the auction.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is MS Dhoni playing in IPL 2025?</h3>



<p>Former Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni will be listed as an uncapped player for IPL 2025. He last played for the national team during the 2019 ODI World Cup and officially announced his retirement from international cricket in 2020.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Will IPL 2025 clash with other tournaments?</h3>



<p>IPL 2025 is anticipated to take place from March to May, potentially overlapping with the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 season, which could lead to scheduling conflicts.</p>
