We got 2 more years with this squad.The auctions just happened recently before this year's IPL. They wont happen until after next year's IPL/CLT20. CSK and the rest of the teams are good for another year.
Great scenes for CSK! Took me back to those days when CSK kept winning titles on the trot. Consistency personified. The respect that the team has acquired over the years for their game is tremendous
The question of retention only comes into play for the auctions seen in 2008, 2011 and 2014 where everyone is thrown in, players sign 3 year contracts with their respective franchises after those auctions, we retained Dhoni, Jadeja, Raina, Ashwin and Bravo before the 2014 auction and retained Dhoni, Raina, Vijay and Morkel before the 2011 auction.EDIT - I think I may have been wrong a bit. I did some searching and it seems that 2014 were the auctions in question, I was talking about. Teams could retain upto 5 players and everyone went back into the pool. Makes sense that way. 2008, 2009, 2010 (3 years, Retain three, then mass auction). 2011, 2012, 2013 (3 years, retain upto 5, then mass auction). So 2014 IPL was the one with the new squads.
This is a list of who retained who.
