IPL 2026 Auction: Team-Wise Target Players in IPL 2026 Mini Auction

It's time to talk about IPL 2026, after two months of exciting action in the 18th season of the Indian Premier League, where we witnessed many amazing performances from several players throughout the season and saw RCB become champions for the first time. It's now time to talk about IPL 2026. Multiple players, some experienced, some young, and some very young, impressed with their skills during the season. However, there were some well-known players who attracted high bids in the auction, and others who didn't perform. Then there were players like Glenn Maxwell and Liam Livingstone, who performed well in international cricket but were often disappointed in the IPL. In this article, you will discuss the players who will be on the radar of various IPL franchises for IPL 2026 and who could become part of those teams next season.

After the completion of IPL 2025, the countdown for the next season of the Indian Premier League has started. Unlike last year, when we witnessed the big IPL auction that spanned over two days, this year the auction will be shorter; we call it the mini auction. BCCI mandates all teams to retain a maximum of only five players every third year. However, since this exercise occurred just last year, teams can retain more players this year, but they will be releasing some players who didn't perform in the season and will have the option to buy some new names and complete their roster teams.
