Every IPL team
has the freedom to choose the number of players they want to have in their
team. However, there is a minimum requirement of 18 players and a maximum of 25
players per franchise. This allows teams to make changes to their selection
process without having to buy a certain number of players. Therefore, some
teams prefer to have a small squad with only 18-22 players, while others prefer
to go all out and have up to 25 players. Ultimately, the number of players a
franchise chooses to have on their team is one they are entitled to.
