The IPL 2025 auction is another mega auction after a gap of two years, with the previous mega auction taking place for the 2022 season. All franchises can only have a maximum of 25 players in their squad.
In the context of retention of players, all 10 teams were allowed to retain a maximum of six players (with a maximum of five capped and maximum of two uncapped players) and the franchises have retained different number of players before the auction.
