The franchise has the option of RTM in the mega auction of IPL 2025. Its full form is right to match. Teams that have retained 5 or less players have the option of RTM during the auction. By using this, the franchise can add its old player even without bidding. Even after this, their franchises did not use RTM on many best players. We are going to tell you 5 such names.

Marcus Stoinis- Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants to make IPL debut in 2022. Before the auction, the team had included Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis. This time he was released before the auction. Lucknow did not even bid for them and ultimately refused to even use RTM.

David Miller- Gujarat Titans

David Miller is currently counted among the world’s greatest finishers in T20. Miller played an important role in making Gujarat champion in 2022. This time Gujarat also tried to buy him in the auction. But in the end Lucknow Super Giants made the highest bid of Rs 7.5 crore. On this Gujarat refused to use RTM.

Nehal Badhera- Mumbai Indians

Young batsman Nehal Badhera is the scout of Mumbai Indians. He played some excellent innings for the team in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Punjab Kings bought him in the auction for Rs 4.2 crore. Mumbai Indians had the RTM to use on an uncapped player but the franchise did not do so.

Kagiso Rabada- Punjab Kings
