The whole cricketing universe was under the influence of international T20 fever for the last one month because of the T20 World Cup happening down under. Although the T20 World Cup culminated with the Three Lions clinching the silverware for the second time in history, the T20 fever is far from over as the eagerly anticipated list of retained and released players ahead of the IPL mini-auction was announced on Tuesday, November 15 and has the fans buzzing.

Some of the top retentions include the likes of Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore), Hardik Pandya (Gujarat Titans), Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans), MS Dhoni (Chennai Super Kings), Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals), Shikhar Dhawan (Punjab Kings), Kl Rahul (Lucknow Super Giants), Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals), Rohit Sharma (Mumbai Indians), Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders), Glenn Phillips (Sunrisers Hyderabad) among others.

Franchises were forced to release a few players to free up some valuable bucks and some of the big ones that got released included Nicholas Pooran (SRH), and Mayank Agarwal (PBKS) among others.

Ahead of the announcement some of the players were also traded by the IPL franchises. Lockie Ferguson was traded by Gujarat Titans to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Shardul Thakur was traded by Delhi Capitals to Kolkata Knight Riders, Rahmanullah Gurbaz was traded by GT to KKR, Jason Behrendorff was traded by Royal Challengers Bangalore to Mumbai Indians.
