Hey, some hot news about IPL 2026 is coming in right now. Yeah, we’ve got a rough idea about the auction and retention dates. The deadline for teams to return players, decide who to keep, and who to let go is November 15 — that’s barely a month away. So, franchises are about to start dropping some big bombshells one by one. There’s a lot of news coming straight from the franchises’ side.
Expected Auction Dates and Venue
There’s some news related to retention coming up. And the auction date is roughly between December 13 and 15. Also, the auctions have been held outside, like in Dubai, for the past couple of years. But this year, it looks like it’s happening in India. So anyway, this year’s retention and the auction will be a big deal, especially for Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals. Ashwin has already retired from Chennai Super Kings, and this time, quite a few players…
Chennai Super Kings: Possible Player Releases
The chances of big names being available for return are pretty low, that’s what we expect. Players like Devon Conway, Deepak Hooda, Vijay Shankar, and others like Sam Curran have already moved out. From what I hear, maybe even Overton might leave. So, if you look at it that way, almost 20 to 25 cross players might be going into the Chennai auction. Since this is a mini-auction, it’s going to be a big deal money-wise.
Big Names and Transfer Buzz
So, what’s up with buying now? Which big name is coming to Chennai? That’s definitely exciting and something we need to watch out for. Now, coming back to Rajasthan, the situation there is really gloomy and uncertain. Will Sanju Samson stay in Rajasthan or leave? No idea if they’ll release him or not. Overall, looking at the current situation, at least we know Rahul Dravid is not Rajasthan’s coach anymore, and that’s not enough.
Rajasthan Royals’ Coaching Shuffle
Heard the news that Sangakkara is coming back as Rajasthan’s coach. Looking at it that way, maybe Sanju Samson might have to step back. If you think about some kind of rap or showdown between Sangakkara and Sanju Samson, there’s a chance Sanju might have to step back—but even that’s not certain. Maybe he’ll move to Chennai, since Chennai has shown interest, or maybe there’ll be a trade, or he might end up at KKR. Lots of exciting news. Whatever happens, things are going to get big as we move forward.
Fans Gear Up for Retentions and Auctions
There’s been a ton of breaking news lately. So, now that we know the dates, the EXR team is going to be busy with all the retention stuff and meetings. We fans will also be busy keeping up with all the latest IPL updates. Moving on, after the Women’s World Cup, there was a match between New Zealand and Bangladesh. New Zealand put up a solid score of 227, but Bangladesh managed to chase it down with 127 runs. And those two players…
Other Cricket Highlights and Upcoming Matches
Since the points table is really low right now, this win is a relief for New Zealand, even though two teams are still below them on the table. Tomorrow, England will play Sri Lanka in the Women’s World Cup. That’s the latest. There’s also a lot of exciting news coming up about the IPL, the IPN, and cricket overall. Tomorrow, Afghanistan will play Bangladesh in the second ODI, and after that, Pakistan will start their Test match against South Africa the day after.
