All 10 teams have released the list of retained players for IPL 2025. Some surprising decisions were seen in this list released on Diwali day. Star players like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul were released by their franchises. A high bid for these is expected in the mega auction to be held in November. As soon as the retention was announced, some teams began to show interest in these two players. Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have also given a hint in this regard.
The pants can go to CSK
Rishabh Pant can be seen playing with Dhoni for Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025. We are not saying this but Dhoni and Suresh Raina’s close friend who has played for CSK has given a big hint. After the retention list came out, he made a big statement. Raina said that ‘I met MS Dhoni in Delhi, at that time Rishabh Pant was also present there. Soon you will be able to see someone wearing a yellow t-shirt.
After this statement by Suresh Raina, it is claimed that Dhoni himself has spoken to the CSK management for Pant. Even before the retention list came out, many media reports had suggested the possibility of Pant joining Dhoni’s team. However, in the mega auction it will be known how much truth there is in this.
KL Rahul-Pant on target for RCB
The Royal Challengers Bangalore team wants to go for both Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. He himself has given a clue about it. In fact, RCB asked fans on social media to support the heroes of Team India for the Test match between India and New Zealand. During this time, in the picture he shared, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are also seen along with Virat Kohli. Normally IPL teams keep posting about their players. That’s why fans are speculating that she will bid for both of them.

If Royal Challengers Bangalore really does this, the duo of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will once again be seen on the field. On the other hand, by bidding for Pant, you can ruin the intentions of Chennai Super Kings. Let us tell you that CSK has Rs 75 crore left for the mega auction and RCB has Rs 83 crore left.
