The Right-To-Match (RTM) Card Returns in IPL AuctionThe RTM card, used in earlier auctions, is back with a new twist: Teams can bid to reclaim a player from their 2024 squad. If the previous team matches the winning bid, the bidding team gets one final chance to raise the price further without any limit.Teams were allowed to retain up to 6 players using RTM and direct retention. Only 5 capped players and 2 uncapped players can be retained.Interestingly, teams like KKR and RR, which have already retained 6 players, cannot use RTM cards.Complete List of retained playersMumbai Indians: Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Tilak VarmaKolkata Knight Riders: Rinku Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, Andre Russell, Harshit Rana, Ramandeep SinghChennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, MS DhoniRajasthan Royals: Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Sandeep SharmaRoyal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Yash DayalDelhi Capitals: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek PorelGujarat Titans: Rashid Khan, Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rahul Tewatia, Shahrukh KhanLucknow Super Giants: Nicholas Pooran, Ravi Bishnoi, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, Ayush BadoniPunjab Kings: Shashank Singh, Prabhsimran SinghSunrisers Hyderabad: Heinrich Klaasen, Pat Cummins, Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Nitish Kumar Reddy
