IPL 2024 Retentions Highlights: Hardik Pandya Retained; Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer released

The ten teams in the Indian Premier League are getting ready for the upcoming season, and they will soon reveal which players they will keep and release in advance of the auction that takes place next month. There have already been a number of deals, releases, and withdrawals, and transfer rumours abound.

Many players have already been traded, including Mayank Dagar, Avesh Khan, Devdutt Padikkal, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Romario Shepherd. Many more will join new teams.

The IPL 2023 was won spectacularly by the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings in a match that lasted more than two days due to multiple weather delays. After CSK tied Mumbai Indians for the most IPL titles ever, Ravindra Jadeja hit a last-ball boundary to erupt in cheers from the crowd.

The 10 teams—Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, and Punjab Kings—will be updating their rosters in anticipation of the upcoming season, which is scheduled to begin in a few months. Their goal is to be the next team to win the IPL trophy.
