  IPL Auction 2025 LIVE Updates: What is the Right To Match (RTM) Option?

  The Right-to-Match (RTM) rule is being reintroduced for this year's auction, following its last utilization in the 2018 edition. The RTM card will enable teams that did not utilize their full quota of six player retentions prior to the auction to retain some players from their previous squads. This rule provides teams with the opportunity to strategically retain key players and maintain a competitive edge in the upcoming season.
