* The top four teams will qualify for the playoffs
One surprising omission from the longlist is Glenn Maxwell. The Australian allrounder, bought by Punjab Kings for INR 4.2 crore last year, is recovering from a fractured finger.
Russell has been a key figure for KKR since 2014, helping the franchise secure three IPL titles.
Post-2020, du Plessis enjoyed a resurgence as a premier batter in the IPL, first finishing runner-up in the 2021 scoring charts and then repeating the feat in 2023
Sangakkara, who has been serving as Director of Cricket since 2021, previously held the position of head coach between 2021 and 2024.
The auction before the 19th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) will take place on December 16 in Abu Dhabi.
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
The franchise, which has consistently been a strong contender since their debut in 2022, has largely kept their core intact, focusing on retaining key players for the upcoming season.
IPL 2026's retention list is defined by three themes: the blockbuster Jadeja-Samson-Curran swap, the release of several global stars, and franchises making sharp value
The franchise released bowling all-rounder Arjun Tendulkar to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in an all-cash transfer, with the young left-armer set to join his new team at his existing fee of ₹30 lakh.
Among overseas players, LSG have parted ways with David Miller and West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph. These moves mark the franchise's strategic adjustments as they prepare for the upcoming season
