Indian cricket fans are at an all-time high level of excitement, with the IPL retention lists for all teams set to be unveiled on November 15. While a high-profile trade between CSK and RR, involving Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran and Sanju Samson, has become a hot topic of discussion, the other IPL franchises are actively finalising their final retention list, which they will submit to the governing council before the deadline. 
As a mini auction will be conducted this time, the ten franchises —MI, RCB, CSK, PBKS, RR, SRH, LSG, GT, DC, and KKR —are expected to retain their core groups. However, some players, who massively underperformed last season, might also find themselves on the retention list, as explained below.
