The second list includes Yuzvendra Chahal, Liam Livingstone, David Miller, KL Rahul, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj.</p>

<h3><strong>10 teams retained 46 players</strong></h3>

<p>IPL mega auction takes place once every 3 years. For which this time the teams could retain a maximum of 6 players. October 31 was the last date for retention, on this day 10 teams retained 46 players. Punjab Kings retained the least number of players, 2.

<h2><strong>What is a Right to Match card?</strong></h2>

<p>The teams that have retained less than 6 players will get the Right to Match i.e. RTM card in the auction. With the RTM card, teams will be able to keep the previous player included in the squad with them.</p>

<p>Let us understand RTM with an example, suppose Glenn Maxwell, who was a part of RCB last season, was bought by MI in the auction by bidding Rs 7 crore. Now if RCB wants, it can keep Maxwell with them by using the RTM card.</p>

<p>However, this time MI will also have the option to increase the bid for Maxwell. After using RTM, MI can also bid Rs 10 crore on Maxwell if it wants. Now if RCB wants to keep Maxwell with them, they will have to pay Rs 10 crore. With this, one of their RTM cards will be used. If RCB refuses, then Maxwell will become MI&#39;s for Rs 10 crore.</p>
