IPL 2026 retentions
With the IPL 2026 mini-auction scheduled for December 16, teams have firmed up their retention lists and released several high-profile names, signalling a fresh round of rebuilding across the league. Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have triggered the biggest overhaul, while Mumbai Indians (MI) have doubled down on continuity. Punjab Kings (PBKS), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) have also made targeted calls to balance core stability with squad flexibility.
Chennai Super Kings: 11 releases and a rebuild after wooden spoon finish
CSK have released 11 players, the most among the 10 franchises, as they attempt to reset after finishing bottom of the table for the first time in their IPL history. They go into the auction with a purse of ₹43.4 crore, the second-largest behind Kolkata Knight Riders’ ₹64.3 crore.
The franchise’s list of departures is headed by overseas players Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, Matheesha Pathirana and Sam Curran. Curran, however, exits as part of one of the marquee trades in IPL history, which sent Ravindra Jadeja and him to Rajasthan Royals, with Sanju Samson moving the other way.
Samson will wear CSK yellow at his existing ₹18 crore price. Jadeja’s fee at RR has been revised down from ₹18 crore to ₹14 crore, while Curran joins RR at ₹2.4 crore, the amount he was originally bought for.
Jadeja leaves CSK as a modern club great. Over 12 seasons with the franchise, he became their leading wicket-taker, claiming 143 wickets in 186 matches at an average of 28.32, with best figures of 5/16. With the bat, he is CSK’s fifth-highest run-scorer, amassing 2,198 runs at 28.54 and a strike rate above 136, with five half-centuries.
Conway and Rachin, both recruited at significant prices before IPL 2025 — Conway for ₹6.25 crore and Rachin via the right-to-match option for ₹4 crore — struggled to consistently influence games. Rachin managed 191 runs in eight innings at 27.28 with a strike rate of 128.18, including one fifty, while Conway’s 156 runs in six innings came at 26.00, albeit with two fifties and a strike rate in excess of 131.
Pathirana, retained for ₹13 crore before the 2025 mega auction, was a key figure in CSK’s 2023 title run with 19 wickets in 12 matches at an economy of 8.01. However, he endured a difficult 2025 season, taking 13 wickets in 12 games while his economy ballooned to 10.13, prompting CSK to release him.
Domestically, CSK have dismantled their underperforming middle order. Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Shaikh Rasheed, Vijay Shankar and Andre Siddarth — the latter without a single appearance — have all been let go after a season in which the batting core failed to sustain momentum.
There is good news in the form of Dewald Brevis, who has been retained after a productive stint as a replacement signing. The South African youngster scored 225 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 180, hitting two half-centuries and injecting much-needed impetus into CSK’s campaign.
CSK will also be without Ravichandran Ashwin, who had returned to the franchise for ₹9.75 crore at the previous mega auction but has since retired from the IPL.
Retained (key names): Ruturaj Gaikwad, MS Dhoni, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, Khaleel Ahmed, Nathan Ellis, Noor Ahmad
Released (key names): Matheesha Pathirana, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Vijay Shankar
Mumbai Indians: Core intact, Tendulkar traded, and a smaller auction purse
While CSK have gone for churn, Mumbai Indians have underlined their preference for continuity. MI have confirmed a strong retention list built around their established core and will enter the auction with a relatively modest ₹2.75 crore remaining in their purse.
The backbone remains familiar: Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma all stay on. In the bowling department, Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar will continue to partner Bumrah, giving MI a frontline pace unit that is, in the franchise’s words, “fast, furious and fearless”.
Among overseas names, Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, Mitchell Santner and Corbin Bosch are retained after proving their utility last season. Young spinner AM Ghazanfar is set for his debut campaign after missing IPL 2025 through injury.
MI have also shown faith in a cluster of domestic youngsters — Naman Dhir, Ashwani Kumar, Raj Angad Bawa, Raghu Sharma and Robin Minz — who will get further opportunities to develop as impact players.
The off-season has also seen Shardul Thakur, Sherfane Rutherford and Mayank Markande join the squad via trades, adding depth and experience.
On the exit front, MI have moved on from several uncapped Indian players once considered long-term projects, including left-arm wrist-spinner Vignesh Puthur and Andhra pacer V. Satyanarayana Raju, who was earmarked as a death-overs option. Overseas bowlers Lizaad Williams, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Bevon Jacobs and Reece Topley have also been released after limited involvement.
The decision to trade Arjun Tendulkar to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is relatively unsurprising given his limited appearances over five seasons. In a farewell message on social media, Tendulkar thanked MI for the “honour” of wearing the badge and said he was looking forward to joining LSG.
Retained (key names): Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Sherfane Rutherford, Mayank Markande
Released/traded out (key names): Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Reece Topley, Bevon Jacobs, Vignesh Puthur, Karn Sharma, Lizaad Williams, Arjun Tendulkar (trade to LSG)
Punjab Kings: Maxwell released as Kings seek overseas reset
Punjab Kings have opted for a more modest reshaping, releasing five players, including Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell, while retaining the bulk of their Indian core. They will enter the auction with ₹11.5 crore in their salary cap.
Maxwell’s third stint with PBKS ends after a difficult 2025 season in which he scored just 48 runs in six innings at an average of 8.00, a far cry from his 2014 exploits when he smashed 95, 89 and 95 in a single campaign. He had been bought again last year for ₹4.2 crore but could not recapture that peak.
PBKS have also released Kuldeep Sen, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie and Praveen Dube. Kuldeep and Hardie did not feature at all in IPL 2025, while Dube played only once.
Head coach Ricky Ponting thanked the departing players for contributing to PBKS’ run to a first final since 2014 and said the franchise would now “aggressively” pursue high-quality overseas options to strengthen middle-order power-hitting and all-round depth.
Chief executive Satish Menon stressed that retaining a strong Indian base was the priority. Key names such as captain Shreyas Iyer and pace spearhead Arshdeep Singh remain, alongside all-rounders Marcus Stoinis, Azmatullah Omarzai, leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar.
Retained (key names): Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Marcus Stoinis, Lockie Ferguson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Harpreet Brar, Mitchell Owen
Released (key names): Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, Kuldeep Sen, Praveen Dube
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Klaasen stays, spin reshuffled
Sunrisers Hyderabad, 2024 finalists, have retained their most expensive player, Heinrich Klaasen, at his previous auction price of ₹23 crore, dispelling speculation that the South African wicketkeeper-batter might be released.
SRH have chosen to tweak rather than overhaul. They have released leg-spinners Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar, all-rounder Wiaan Mulder, and Indian finisher Abhinav Manohar, who saw limited game time in IPL 2025. Atharva Taide, Sachin Baby, Mohammed Shami and Smarjeet Singh have also been let go.
The franchise will head to the auction with ₹25.5 crore in their purse.
Head coach Daniel Vettori said SRH’s priority was to keep the nucleus intact while retaining enough budget to target players who might not have fit elsewhere but could add value in Hyderabad.
Retained (key names): Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshal Patel, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins
Released (key names): Adam Zampa, Rahul Chahar, Wiaan Mulder, Abhinav Manohar, Mohammed Shami
Rajasthan Royals: Jadeja and Curran in, Samson and spinners out
Rajasthan Royals have reshaped their squad around a blockbuster trade and a renewed focus on finishing power and bowling variety.
The marquee move saw captain Sanju Samson traded to CSK, with Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran arriving in return. Samson joins CSK at ₹18 crore, Jadeja’s revised fee at RR is ₹14 crore, and Curran is valued at ₹2.4 crore.
In the overseas bowling department, RR have released Sri Lankan pair Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, along with Afghanistan left-arm seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi. They have also traded Nitish Rana to Delhi Capitals, while bringing in Donovan Ferreira from the same franchise.
RR’s domestic changes include the exits of Kunal Rathore, Ashok Sharma, Kumar Kartikeya and Akash Madhwal. After all movements, they will go into the auction with ₹16.05 crore.
Director of cricket Kumar Sangakkara said Ferreira’s acquisition was driven by his finishing credentials and versatility against both pace and spin, helping RR manage their purse and combinations after investing in Jadeja and Curran.
The retained list is headlined by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Jofra Archer and Dhruv Jurel, alongside new arrivals Jadeja, Curran and Ferreira.
Retained (key names): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Jofra Archer, Donovan Ferreira
Released (key names): Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Nitish Rana (trade out), Akash Madhwal

"When we look at a good finisher, someone who attacks spin and pace, Donovan Ferreira stands out, has had a good year, a player with great potential. When we looked at it, felt it was the right trade with Nitish. To have him in our bank gives us a big advantage in managing our purse, also the ability to play different combinations having traded Jadeja and Sam Curran. It allows us flexibility to try out different options."

IPL 2026 retentions LIVE UPDATES: RCB players released!
As expected, RCB have released Liam Livingstone, marking their only major overseas departure. Lungi Ngidi, who spent most of his stint as a backup option, has also been let go.
Interestingly, they have retained Yash Dayal, despite him not featuring in any competitive cricket since the IPL final on June 3. Dayal has been dealing with legal issues that kept him out of the UP T20 League and he hasn’t appeared for Uttar Pradesh in the Ranji Trophy either. RCB’s decision suggests they may have insight into his availability and are optimistic he’ll be ready for IPL 2026.
Other players released include Mayank Agarwal, who joined as an injury replacement for Devdutt Padikkal, while Swastik Chikara exits without having played a match.
