The next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will take place in India and before that, a mega auction will take place. Moreover, two new teams – Lucknow and Ahmedabad have been added and ten teams will compete from the next season as well.
As per the guidelines, each franchise can retain a maximum number of four players and at most two of them can be overseas as well. However, if they retain four players, their auction purse will be reduced by 42 crore. If they retain three players, the purse will be Rs 33 crore, two retentions will cost Rs 24 crore while one would cost Rs 14 crore as well.
However, a few franchises have already shared their probable list of retention players. As far as Sunrisers Hyderabad is concerned, they are eyeing a fresh start ahead of the mega auction. The franchise took to Twitter and thanked all the players who were a part of their squad. “We thank the players for their contribution to SRH over the years. This is not a goodbye, as we hope to welcome back some Risers in the auction,” they wrote.

On the other hand, all-rounder Jason Holder(West Indies) has done well too. He picked 16 wickets on playing 8 matches and scored 85 runs with the bat last season. Meanwhile, Rashid Khan is the only player to bag 10+(18) wickets in total in IPL 2021.
