The last date to retain players for IPL 2025 is October 31. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) can exercise right-to-match card on captain KL Rahul.
The franchise is going to retain Nicholas Pooran, Mayank Yadav and Ravi Bishnoi. All franchises have to submit the list of retained and released players by 5pm on Thursday. The mega auction of IPL this year can be held in November-December.
Also the names of Badoni and Mohsin Khan In the LSG list not An LSG source told Bhaskar – We have names of 5 players on our list. Right to match card will be played on KL Rahul. If he stays with us even after the auction, he can captain the team in the next season as well. The source also said that Ayush Badoni and Mohsin Khan's names are not in the retention list. Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya and Naveen Ul Haq will also be released.
Reason for not retaining KL Rahul is strike rate In fact KL Rahul's strike rate is affecting the team's performance. He is scoring runs at a strike rate of 130.65 in the last three seasons. Since 2022, he has scored 1410 runs with 2 centuries and 10 fifties. Rahul's highest powerplay score in IPL-2024 is 34 runs, while the lowest is 26 runs.
What is a Right to Match card? Teams can use Right to Match i.e. RTM cards in the auction. For example, let's say Rohit Sharma is not retained by Mumbai Indians. His name came up in the auction and he was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 10 crore. Now, if Mumbai wants, they can keep Rohit for Rs 10 crore using the RTM card. RTM card will be with all team.
LSG was eliminated from the league stage last year In the IPL-2024 season, the Lucknow Super Giants team could not make it to the playoffs. The team managed to win only 7 out of 14 matches and finished seventh in the league stage points table.
