IPL 2025 Retentions Live Updates: The excitement around the IPL 2026 season is building up nicely as the broadcasters have officially confirmed that the retention list for all franchises will be announced on November 15. Fans are eagerly waiting to see which players will be retained or released ahead of the much-anticipated mega auction.
Reports suggest that the IPL 2026 auction will take place in December, giving teams ample time to reassess their strategies and finalize their squads. Interestingly, this year there will be no cap on the number of players a team can retain, which could significantly alter team combinations and strategies.
Adding to the buzz are a few high-profile trade rumours making rounds. According to multiple reports, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are eyeing a possible trade for Sanju Samson from Rajasthan Royals (RR), while Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are reportedly interested in KL Rahul from Delhi Capitals (DC). Meanwhile, KKR might release their vice-captain Venkatesh Iyer, who failed to justify his hefty price tag of ₹23.75 crore.
