Everyone will be aware of the same by the end of the day on Saturday, November 15, with each of the 10 teams set to confirm their retentions and releases ahead of the IPL 2026 player auction, with the deadline coming to an end. The last six weeks have been popcorn-worthy, with the franchises tracking developments of each other, with respect to the trades and their retentions and releases, while eyeing a certain player, who might be available at the auction.

It has been an exhilarating run and that will finally come to an end on Saturday. The likes of Sanju Samson, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Arjun Tendulkar, Nitish Rana and Shardul Thakur, among others, have already moved teams through trades and there are many high-profile names which are likely to be released ahead of the mini auction. While Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings look the most settled, the two teams that reached the final, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, are likely to walk in with the heaviest purses.

Kolkata Knight Riders have released Andre Russell

From big player trades like Sanju Samson and Ravindra Jadeja to the latest rumours around Glenn Maxwell and Venkatesh Iyer, stay ahead with all the crucial moves, team strategies, and insider info as franchises finalise their squads.

Gujarat Titans have off-loaded five players: Mahipal Lomror, Karim Janat, Gerald Coetzee, Kulwant Khejroliya apart from Dasun Shanka. Shanka is the biggest name from that release, having led Sri Lanka in the past. Sherfane Rutherford has already been traded to MI.

Sanju Samson made a historic switch to the Chennai Super Kings in the franchise’s biggest-ever trade deal in IPL history. Fittingly, the Super Kings made the bid in hope and anticipation of fixing the road map and transition from their most iconic brand and cricketer, MS Dhoni.

Snapped up at Rs 18 crore deal, Samson will move closer to home from the Rajasthan Royals, while CSK have had to let go of one of their most prized possessions over the last decade, Ravindra Jadeja. The move seems, at this point, more a win for CSK than RR who have signed up Sam Curran too for Rs 2.4 crore as part of the three-player dea

Veteran pacer Mohammed Shami is another big mover on deadline day, with the Bengal speedster moving to Lucknow Super Giants from SRH at Rs 10 crore. A reunion with former India bowling coach Bharat Arun could well be the switch that he needed to regain his mojo.

IPL Trades LIVE: KKR to offload Russell!

Russell's association with KKR could come to an end as the three-time champions are set to release their long-serving all-rounder. Russell had a subdued IPL 2025 campaign, prompting the franchise to look for a younger, more reliable option for the future.

Sunrisers Hyderabad may well be getting rid of two leg-spinners - Adam Zampa and Rahul Chahar. With the retention deadline approaching its end, Cricbuzz understands that the Pat Cummins-led side has moved on from Zampa, bought for Rs 2.4 crore last year, and Chahar, a Rs 3.2 crore acquisition. Zampa played only two games last season, picking up two wickets, while Chahar featured in just one match. The 2016 champions have already traded Mohammed Shami to Lucknow SuperGiants.
