All 10 teams have released the list of retained players for IPL 2025. Some surprising decisions were seen in this list released on the day of Diwali. Star players like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have been released by their franchises. Now huge bids are being expected for them in the mega auction to be held in November. As soon as the retention was announced, some teams have started showing interest in these two players. Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have also given a hint for this.
Pant 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’s close friend and Suresh Raina, who has played for CSK, himself has given a big hint. After the retention list came out, he gave a big statement. Raina said that ‘I met MS Dhoni in Delhi, at that time Rishabh Pant was also present there. Soon you may see someone wearing a yellow jersey.
After this statement of Suresh Raina, it is being claimed that Dhoni himself has talked 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, how much truth is there in this will be known in the mega auction.
KL Rahul-Pant on target of RCB
Royal Challengers Bangalore team wants to bet on both Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. He himself has given a hint for this. Actually, RCB asked the 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. Usually IPL teams keep posting about their players. That’s why fans are speculating that she will bid for both.

If Royal Challengers Bangalore really does this, then once again the pair of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will be seen on the field. On the other hand, by bidding for Pant, it can spoil 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.
