Right To Match Rules In IPL 2025: A mega auction is to be held before the upcoming IPL 2025 season. Which may happen in November or December this year. Before this, all the 10 franchises have to submit the list of their retained players to the BCCI by October 31.
The mega auction for IPL-2025 is likely to be held on November 24 and 25. According to reports, this time the auction can be held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
In such a situation, the franchise has got the opportunity to use the Right to Match (RTM) card during the auction. This RTM rule is going to increase the excitement of the mega auction this time, which can also make the players rich.
Some fans have not fully understood the Right to Match (RTM) rule. They want to know how this rule works? How can it rain money on the players? Let's know about it...
According to the new rule, franchisees will have the opportunity to use RTM cards
Let us tell you here that according to the new retention rule announced by the BCCI recently, a franchise can retain a maximum of 6 players. If a team retains less than 6 players then the franchise will have the opportunity to use the Right to Match (RTM) card during the auction. The new RTM rule could shower a lot of money on players. But the question here is what is this RTM rule? And how does it work? Will the players gain or lose because of this rule? Let's know about it…
What is the RTM rule?
RTM rule is one type of option for franchisees. By using which franchises can include the player in their squad in the auction which has recently released them. Even if another franchise outbids the player in the auction, the old franchise will have the opportunity to re-buy the player under the RTM rule.

When a player is bid for, the team that bids last is in a position to buy the team. The old team will then be asked if it wants to use the RTM rule or not. If they say yes, the team that bid last will get the chance to bid last. After that if the old team uses the RTM rule, it will have to pay the increased amount. Otherwise the bidding team will buy that player.
Let's understand by example
Let's understand with an example, Gujarat Titans team does not retain fast bowler Mohammad Shami. So that Shami will now go to the auction. Then suppose that the Chennai Super Kings team makes a last bid of Rs 10 crores on him. The Gujarat team will then have an opportunity to reinstate Shami in their squad using the RTM rules.
If now Gujarat team says yes that they will use RTM. Then Chennai will get a chance to bid last. Then suppose the Chennai franchise makes a final bid of Rs 15 crore. Then Gujarat will have to buy Shami at this price under RTM rule. If he doesn't do so, the Chennai team will buy Shami for Rs 15 crore.
Players will get more money
From this example you will also understand how players can get more money with this rule. When there is a competition between the new franchise and the old franchise to buy the player, the players have high hopes of getting big money until the last bid.
