12BET India News: List of players released and retained by 8 franchises ahead of IPL 14 auction
Earlier this week, all eight Indian Premier League (IPL) franchises have already submitted their list of released and retained players ahead of the IPL 14 auction. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) retained the fewest number of players, while defending champions Mumbai Indians released seven players while retaining a majority of their core.
Last year, Mumbai Indians have successfully defended their Indian Premier League (IPL) title and clinched their fifth trophy after thrashing Delhi Capitals by five wickets in the final in Dubai. Brilliant hostile bowling led by Trent Boult took MI to victory, now the most successful team in IPL history, chased 157 with eight balls to spare as captain Rohit Sharma hit 68.
