The IPL Auction will be a two-day event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and the franchises have already announced their core players as a part of its retentions. Several franchises are expected to undergo an overhaul as teams like the Punjab Kings and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru enter the auction with a huge purse.
Faf du Plessis' former IPL franchise have retained Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal as their retention picks. Despite the success he has had, the RCB management did not opt for him and went for an all-Indian retention. 2024 was a huge success for the IPL as they managed to secure a playoff spot after a lot of hard work. But their efforts faltered after they lost to the Rajasthan Royals by four wickets. The franchise will seek a title win next year, and it is yet to be seen what happens in the IPL 2024 auction.
