This is a must-read for those who like IPL. Thanks for posting this.
Buddy! Franchises build their brand values on the backs of their players. Take CSK, MI for example thier brand value are high comparatively high due to continuity in their core team and support staffs. If we take the retention previlige the brand values will go down taking down the total value of IPL itself. That's why minimum retention should be there, so that people can connect with the franchises and allowing franchises to build brand value simultaneously.
I don't know buddy! U are on a loop why not Auctions. The same is explained previously for last 2-3 pages I guess. Retentions are not a bad thing, it's fair for all the teams, if teams don't use them properly then it's their problem. I can give you plenty of examples there. Take erstwhile DC for example, they haven't retained Rohit Sharma, that guy now won 5 IPL as captain for MI. If he had been retained he would be captaining SRH for sure now. There are plenty of similar examples, from Delhi, KKR, Punjab, RCB etc etc. U cannot blame teams using the system introduced from the first IPL itself because they are beneficial for them. David Warner, ABD, Sky, etc etc shifted from teams which haven't used the system properly
Nah bad move. Won't give opportunity to Indian players. Instead they could increase overall foreigners in team from 8 to 9-10...
It's a good move for most of Teams for eg KKR & RR they both have good overseas players on bench now if 5 overseas players are allowed, they can set their Playing 11 with 2 overseas Pace bowlers, 2 overseas all-rounders, and 1 Overseas Opener/ wicket keeper.
