Retention policy orchestrated by Srinivasan, tweets Lalit Modi

This year, the number of retentions were increased from four to five. ‘Right To Match' option gives the franchise a right to retain six players from their previous squad.

"Case and point is the recent retention policy orchestrated by Srini for his own agenda and that is we know what," Modi wrote on Twitter yesterday.

CSK - the most successful IPL franchise - retained skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Ravichandran Ashwin, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo.
