Ashwin Slams IPL’s Right to Match Rule: ‘Unfair’ to Players, Stifles Market Value

Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has criticized the Right to Match (RTM) rule ahead of its potential return in the 2025 IPL auction. Ashwin argues that the RTM rule is unfair to players as it prevents them from receiving their true market value. The rule allows teams to reclaim a player by matching the highest bid, benefiting the original team at the expense of other franchises and the player. Ashwin believes the rule undermines the integrity of the auction and hinders players from getting their deserved compensation.
