Fans are keenly waiting to see which core players the ten franchises will retain. There is huge excitement about which key players will stay and who leave their current teams to enter the auction as a result.
Indian stars Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are the focus of much speculation. Rishabh Pant returned as Delhi Capitals' captain, impressing fans and adding anticipation to his retention decision. Shreyas Iyer led Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL title last season, and his future with the team is also under scrutiny.

The IPL Governing Council has introduced new retention rules. Franchises can keep up to six players, with a maximum of five capped players and two uncapped players. Capped players not active in international cricket for the last five years can now be retained as uncapped. This has stirred rumours about MS Dhoni potentially being retained by CSK as an uncapped player.
The auction purse has increased to ₹120 crore with a revised salary cap of ₹146 crore. This 20% boost allows teams more flexibility to secure new talent or retain experienced players.

Fans are eagerly waiting for October 31 to find out the retention outcomes.
