All ten Indian Premier League teams submitted their lists of retained and released players on the retention deadline day. Hardik Pandya stayed with Gujarat Titans to silence all the reported talks of his return to Mumbai Indians but there were few big names released by other teams on Sunday, November 26.
Mumbai Indians failed to trade in Hardik Pandya but retained the majority of their batting unit. Rohit Sharma's side can still trade Hardik as the trade window reportedly remains active till December 12. They released the start of English pacer Jofra Archer and four other overseas pacers Duan Jansen, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith and Chris Jordan. Mumbai Indians will enter next month's IPL 2024 player auction with a remaining purse amount of INR 15.25 crore.
Royal Challengers Bangalore also made some surprise releases on retention deadline day. RCB released overseas stars Josh Hazlewood and Wanindu Hasaranga, and Indian pacer Harshal Patel. They managed to retain veteran wicketkeeper batter but released overseas players Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, David Willey and Wayne Parnell. Barring more trades, RCB will go into the IPL 2024 player auction with the largest purse amount of INR 40.75 crore.
