The first move in the trading window was made by Mumbai Indians after they bought South Africa’s wicket-keeper batsman Quinton de Kock from Royal Challengers Bangalore.

It was followed by several franchises opting for various options under the trading window. The traffic increased since last evening after Chennai Super Kings announced their full list of retained players. As was expected, all the franchise have shared updates on the same.
