Having retained three capped India players each, Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, for instance, cannot use the RTM to reacquire Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh respectively. Conversely, Knight Riders, having retained two overseas capped players in Russell and Narine, cannot use their RTM on a capped foreign player, such as Chris Woakes or Shakib Al Hasan
