The IPL Player Auction: Top Indian players, including Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, K.L. Rahul, M.S. Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and ARshdeep Singh, were among those retained by their respective franchises while big names like Andre Russell, Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis, Adam Zampa, and Davis Miller were released as the retention window closed ahead of next month's mini-auction for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
The biggest trade was for Rajasthan Royals' wicketkeeper-batman/captain Sanju Samson, which saw him go to five-time champion Chennai Super Kings in exchange for Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran. India's 2023 ODI World Cup hero Mohammed Shami was picked by Lucknow Super Giants among other major moves.
The player retention window for the IPL 2026 season closed on Saturday with all 10 franchises confirming their retained players ahead of the auction.
