It is being told that the auction can be conducted on 26th or 27th November. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet confirmed the date of the auction.
According to the report published in Cricbuzz, all the 5 teams Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants and UP Warriors have been informed about the date of the auction.

Before the auction, each team will be able to retain 5 players. The price of the first player to be retained will be Rs 3.5 crore, while the retention price of the fifth and last player will be Rs 50 lakh. Each team can use five Right to Match cards (RTM), but the number of RTM cards will depend on the players retained by the team. The more players a team retains, the fewer RTM cards will be available.
