Heinrich Klaasen received the highest retention price ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, surprising many as he surpassed Virat Kohli.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday retained Klaasen for Rs 23 crore, underlining his impact and value to the team.
Following Klaasen, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) retained Virat Kohli for Rs 21 crore. Although Kohli is one of the most accomplished players in the league, his retention price was slightly lower and the team also sealed only three spots including the former captain.
RCB appears to focus on building a balanced squad while relying on Kohli’s leadership and experience.
Similarly, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) retained West Indies player Nicholas Pooran for Rs 21 crore, the same as Kohli. The Trinidadian cricketer's hard-hitting and dynamic style in the last season earned him one of the top retention prices this year.
