IPL 2022 mega auctions are slated to take next yeary in January. But before that, each franchise needs to come out with their list of players that they are willing to retain. A franchise can retain a maximum of four players. Here, we look at five big players who will most certainly be retained.
Rishabh Pant has played all his IPL cricket with Delhi Capitals and led them to the playoffs in IPL 2021. He is a must-do in their playing XI. It will be difficult for DC to not retain Pant for IPL 2022. (Source: Twitter)
Kolkata Knigght Riders are expected to trust Andre Russell to win them the games in the next years in IPL. He has been a match-winner but has struggled in the past two seasons due to injuries. However Russell is too good a T20 all-rounder to let go. (Source: Twitter)

Rohit Sharma has won five titles for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. How can they let their leader go so easily! It would be the most shocking decision ever if MI choose to relieve Rohit. Already reports are coming in that Rohit has been retained by Mumbai. (Source: Twitter)
Virat Kohli may have quit RCB captaincy but he still remains a valuable asset, most probably the hottest property in IPL and world cricket. Experts believe that Kohli's best is yet to come and with the captaincy burden removed, his best IPL season may be next year. (Source: Twitter)
