Their time runs from tomorrow - December 1 to December 25 - to make a maximum of three picks (two Indians, one overseas) from a special draft involving all the players that have been released tonight. It wouldn't come as a surprise if the likes of KL Rahul, Rashid Khan, Hardik Pandya and Yuzi Chahal find a new home before the full-fledged IPL 2022 action. That's all for tonight, folks! See you soon with more updates.

 

Rajasthan Royals

Kolkata Knight Riders

Delhi Capitals

Parth Jindal, DC owner : It's not fair that you build a team, you groom them, and they play for their countries and you lose them in the end. IPL needs to have a look at it, but it is what it is. I wish our outgoing players the best. With the money we have, we're going to try and bring as many of them back as possible.

Chennai Super Kings, up next..

 

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Punjab Kings

Anil Kumble : We wanted to retain KL Rahul , but he decided to go into the auction. We respect that, we honour that decision. It's the player's prerogative.

7:35PM IST: Kolkata Knight Riders - All eyes will be on Eoin Morgan. While there is a buzz that Knights could eventually not retain him, his success in IPL 2021 could force the side to change its mind. Among Indians, the franchise could opt for Venkatesh Iyer, Shubman Gill, or Varun Chakravarthy. Among the overseas players, Sunil Narine along with Andre Russell is set to continue.

7:23PM IST: Delhi Capitals - The Capitals look certain to retain current skipper Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, and Axar Patel. Among overseas players, the franchise is expected to opt for Anrich Nortje over Kagiso Rabada.

7:15PM IST: Mumbai Indians are set to retain skipper Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Kieron Pollard in the overseas slot. Our correspondent Shayan reckons it will be a toss-up between Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan for the final spot, with the former likely to be the man in favour.

7:09PM IST: Updates from Punjab Kings: As things stand, it is understood Mayank Agarwal and young left-armer Arshdeep Singh have been retained by the franchise. Seems like skipper KL Rahul is indeed, on his way out.

7:08PM IST: Our correspondent Shayan Acharya says the initial buzz from the Sunrisers Hyderabad camp suggests that they have retained skipper Kane Williamson besides holding onto the two Kashmir wonderkids - Umran Malik and Abdul Samad.
