Almost all the established India players have been retained by their respective franchises. CSK predictably retained skipper MS Dhoni, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Suresh Raina and West Indies’ Dwayne Bravo. Mumbai Indians went with their champion skipper Rohit Sharma, senior off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard, Sri Lankan slinger Lasith Malinga and talented batsman Ambati Rayudu. Aussie pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson will in all likelihood be picked up with ‘Right to Match’ card while Dinesh Karthik has also got the boot.
Rajasthan retained Shane Watson, who will lead the side in IPL-VII along with left-arm seamer James Faulkner and India internationals Ajinkya Rahane and Stuart Binny. The franchise also retained talented India colts wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson, who did well for the franchise in the Champions League T20.
Kings XI Punjab retained hard-hitting South African left-hander David Miller and talented Ranji team opener Manan Vohra. Vohra is another uncapped player to be retained. Kolkata Knight Riders retained their skipper Gautam Gambhir along with mystery spinner Sunil Narine for the next edition of the cash-rich league.
Daredevils unanimously decided against retention of their existing player going into the IPL7 auction in Bangalore. The team management explaining the decision said ‘it was the unanimous decision of the management with the focus of building a fresh team that the fans would be proud of’.
