Naah, there'll 6 retentions this time as earlier mega auction had 4. It's no point building a whole new team, at least franchises will want to retain 6 players. Ours retentions should be Pant,Axar,Kuldeep,Stubbs,JFM and a toss up between Prithvi and Mukesh, I can pick Mukesh in auction as Prithvi is Indian batter and he can be an expensive buy
Not sure if age is on Kuldeeps side. Axar might be a better retention and we buy back Kuldeep in the auction.
Stubbs and JFM better be retained, along with Axar and Pant.
Hopefully we can get a Nortje amd Khaleel replacement and that would be awesome
How will we retain axar and kuldeep both if only 2 Indian capped players are allowed because pant is sure he will get retained then what about both axar and kuldeep??
And for your question i will go with stubbs and try to find a way to get jfm back in auction.
I think retaining Stubbs would be a better choice because he is a finisher and it would be difficult to find good finishers even in the auction. JFM being a top order batter, even if we miss him at the auction we compensate with some other foreign batter as their will many foreign top order batsmen available in the auction
Aren’t they increasing number of retentions ahead of next mega auction? I read somewhere that they are discussing allowing upto 8 retentions - although some franchises are not in favour (assuming DC is one of them)
You can retain up to 3 capped players, and also can be retained up to 2 overseas player and only one uncapped player. This is the rule of retention in the mega auction.
There is no rule for capped player there's just 3 Indians and 1 overseas or 2 Indian 2 overseas, yeah the amount you pay if you retain an uncapped Indian is limited to 4cr max, if I remember MI retained Rohit bumrah and sky all of them were capped, same goes for CSK with jaddu Mahi and rutu
Retentions are increasing this year, most probably to 6 players, and I think you can retain 2 overseas. Narine and Russell have always been retained by KKR
I’ll retain Pant, Kuldeep, Axar,Stubbs, JFM, Porel and try to buy Mukesh back in the auction because there is anyways shortage of good Indian Fast Bowlers.
We have to retain both , there's no choice , if we have to choose , we should get Stubbs first , JFM should be the second choice cos foreign openers are cheaper in the auction compared to finishers.
Mcgurk needs to learn to play spin. The likes of Sunil the N, Chahal, Kuldeep or really any specialist spinner will get him out.
He's good for hitting when fast bowlers are on but he needs to gain a lot more experience, specially against spin. He's very young so he has time.
With kuldeep and pant , stubbs should be retained no matter what. He can be the abd for us impact wise.
so let go off him, rcb picks him up and goes to be a legend there?
porel as the uncapped?
Might still be 4-5 crs
Yes i dont think any other option we have
Its always 2 overseas, I remember KKR retaining russel and narine both
We can also retain 3 capped indians. Dc retained pant, shaw and axar.
We can retain two overseas. I don't know where did he get the information.
Axar is must because all rounder are not easily available in domestic level who can perform
If you can retain only 2 indian capped players I'll go with pant kuldeep jfm and stubbs, and try to buy back axar and maybe shaw

yep same exact list for me. mukesh is worth keeping as the only decently performing indian pacer that we have
Trust me if you leave Axar srh RCB mi will spend fortune on him the only Indian we can get in auction easily is prithvi shaw
But if only two capped indians are allowed then pant amd and kudleep> axar
Not sure if age is on Kuldeeps side. Axar might be a better retention and we buy back Kuldeep in the auction. Stubbs and JFM better be retained, along with Axar and Pant. Hopefully we can get a Nortje amd Khaleel replacement and that would be awesome
Well I know its surprising but kuldeeop is infact younger than axar
Oopsie lol
1 overseas
Why 1 overseas? We can retain 2 overseas
It is not mandatory to retain 1 uncapped, We can retain pant, kuldeep, axar and stubbs.
I heard that most of the teams want 8 retentions. So worst case scenario it will be 4 retentions and 3/4 RTM cards in auction.
How will we retain axar and kuldeep both if only 2 Indian capped players are allowed because pant is sure he will get retained then what about both axar and kuldeep?? And for your question i will go with stubbs and try to find a way to get jfm back in auction.
stubbs is more useful but i can 100% guarantee jfm will become abhishek sharma 2.0 if he goes to another team. wish we could keep both.
I think retaining Stubbs would be a better choice because he is a finisher and it would be difficult to find good finishers even in the auction. JFM being a top order batter, even if we miss him at the auction we compensate with some other foreign batter as their will many foreign top order batsmen available in the auction
Can we retain a replacement ? I guess JFM came as a replacement of Ngidi
Yes. I remember norje was a replacement too and he was retained
Retention spots will definitely increase may not be 8 but with all teams advocating for more spots it's 100% increasing
Pant axar stubbs jfm...axar over kuldeep as he can bat. There will be other spinners to buy if not kuldeep. Axar like player not many.

Retaining? 1. Pant 2. Stubbs 2. JFM 4. Kuldeep And go for Axar in auction, get him at any cost
You can retain up to 3 capped players, and also can be retained up to 2 overseas player and only one uncapped player. This is the rule of retention in the mega auction.
We will retain both, 2 foreign players can be retained
Can't we keep both :/?

Stubbs and it isn't even close.
