5:30 PM IST:  In a surprising turn of events, Lucknow Super Giants have reportedly retained the services of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis. With a price tag of INR 9.20 crore, a lot was expected from Stoinis last season, but he blew hot and cold. However, the LSG team management have shown faith in the Aussie and will bank on him to come good in the upcoming season.

5:24 PM IST: It was reported that the duo of Rassie van der Dussen and Daryl Mitchell have been released by RR. They hardly got a chance last season, so it makes sense to generate some extra cash.
