The deadline for announcing the list of retained players is 5 PM IST today. Stay tuned for all the latest updates. 

Only two other trades have been confirmed so far. Mumbai Indians roped in West Indies all-rounder Romario Shepherd from Lucknow Super Giants and RR got Avesh Khan from LSG, which received Devdutt Padikkal in return. 

All speculations over Hardik’s IPL future will end today. Will the Gujarat Titans skipper move to Mumbai Indians? What about Rohit Sharma? While some reports suggest the two teams will do a direct swap between Hardik and Rohit, others say that Mumbai will acquire Hardik in an all-cash deal. 

Royal Challengers Bangalore has traded all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed for Mayank Dagar, who will join the Bengaluru franchise from Sunrisers Hyderabad.
