MI have retained 13 players and have vacant player slots in the form of four Indians and one overseas with a remaining purse of Rs 2.1 crores. &ldquo;MI will use this auction for investment and unearth a diamond like they always do. They&rsquo;ll pick three-four players for the future and develop their skills so they can serve them in the years to come. They&rsquo;ll look for young Indian players because they know you must have a strong Indian contingent in your squad to win tournaments. They&rsquo;ve seen it work for them in the men&rsquo;s vertical,&rdquo; Raman told Jio Cinema.
Runners-up Delhi Capitals have a remaining purse of Rs 2.25 crores, while UP Warriorz have a remaining purse of Rs 4 crores. With Rs 5.95 crores, Gujarat Giants have the highest remaining purse among all franchises and need to fill the most slots (10).
