09:43 Murali Vijay is the first player to be sold at 2014 IPL auction for a whopping 5 crore by Delhi Daredevils.
09:00 The much awaited IPL 2014 Auctions will start today at ITC Gardenia Hall Bangalore in just few minutes. The auction will be done in two days and a total of 514 players [219 capped players (169 Indians and 50 overseas players) and 292 uncapped players (255 Indians and 37 overseas players)] will go under the hammer. Franchises have already retained few players and here is the list of them
Chennai Super Kings (5): Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Dwayne Bravo and Suresh Raina.
The IPL governing council has come with a new term, RTM for the IPL 2014 edition.
Lets understand what is RTM and how does it works?
RTM means ‘Right to Match’ card which can be flashed at a time when the franchise wishes to retain any of its existing players. The franchises have to pay the highest bid for that player in the auction and thus they can retain the player. RTM availability depends on the already retained players
For example: Every franchise starts with 3 RTM’s in their pockets. If they don’t retain any player, they will have 3 RTM’s. But if they retain 1-2 players they will have 2 RTM’s and if they retain 3-5 players they will have just 1 RTM left.
This addition of RTM is also guided by old IPL laws and is not something which will overturn the earlier guidelines like a franchise can have a minimum of 16, and a maximum of 27 players with not more than 9 foreign cricketers.
