Con 6 retenciones permitidas, mientras el BCCI está implementando una política de retención 5+1, ¿cómo funcionará RTM en la mega subasta IPL 2025? Ver detalles.
After much speculation around IPL rules, with all the fuss, the BCCI finally revealed how the IPL 2025 mega auction rules are going to be. This announcement came late on September 28, following the IPL Governing Council Meeting. Many rules were tweaked, and some were reintroduced, but one rule that caught a lot of attention is the Right to Match (RTM) card, last used in the IPL 2017 mega auction but discarded ahead of the 2022 mega auction. Now, RTM is making a comeback and gaining attention. But what exactly is RTM, and how are franchises going to use it? See all the crucial details.
What is RTM in IPL?
In simpler terms, RTM is an option for a franchise to acquire a player’s services or get that player back during the auction by matching the highest bid made for the player by another franchise.
How RTM works in IPL
Let’s suppose Mumbai Indians release Rohit Sharma ahead of the IPL 2025 auction, and he goes under the hammer. Now, if Rohit gets the highest bid of Rs 20 crores and no other team bids for him, MI can use the RTM card to acquire him at Rs 20 crores.
How many Right to Match cards are allowed in IPL 2025 mega auction?
This time around, there are no limitations for franchises, unlike in the past when 3 RTMs were allowed. Now, they can retain anywhere from 0 to 6 players, as six players are allowed to be retained. It all depends on how many players they want to retain directly or how many they want to put under the hammer and then get back via RTM cards. For instance, if a team retains a total of 6 players, 5 capped and 1 uncapped, there will be no RTM. But if they only retain their core 4 players, they will have two RTMs to use at the auction.
