Possible Lucknow Super Giants retention and release before the IPL Mega Auction 2025

Yes, you heard it right. The IPL 2025 season will begin with a mega auction. The IPL Chairman, Arun Dhumal, mentioned that the mega auction will take place before the 2025 season, and a team can retain a maximum of four players, like in 2022. This concludes that some of our favorite players might not be seen on the same team as before. So, let us look at the possible Lucknow Super Giants retention and release before the IPL Mega Auction 2025

IPL Mega Auction 2025 Rules

With the mega auction, almost every team would like to have a young baseline with some experience. Also, we might see the same mega auction rule as in 2022.

• No right to match card
• The team retaining four players will have to spend 42 crores (16 crores for the first pick, 12 crores for the second, 8 crores for the third, and 6 crores for the fourth).
• The team retaining three players will have to spend 33 crores (15 crores for the first pick, 11 crores for the second, and 7 crores for the third).
• A maximum of two overseas players can be retained.
• There is no limit on retention for capped players.
• A maximum of two uncapped players can be retained.

Note: The BCCI has yet to announce the retention rules. (The above rules are based on the 2022 retention rules.)
