IPL retention day sprang a number of surprises with several high profile players let go ahead of the 2024 IPL auction.
The headline was that Hardik Pandya will remain with Gujarat Titans despite speculations of a return to Mumbai Indians. However, there is still a chance that Pandya will return to his former franchise before the December auction. Elsewhere, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma’s involvement with Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians respectively has ended speculation about their immediate future in the IPL.

It was a bad day for England’s players. offered. Archer’s stay in Mumbai was plagued by long-standing injury problems.
