Cameron Green - Star Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is set to be in high demand in the IPL 2026 auction, thanks to his skills with both bat and ball. With CSK releasing all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja, Sam Curran, Vijay Shankar, and Deepak Hooda, the team is in need of a player like Green. Ravi Bishnoi - CSK could also consider signing Ravi Bishnoi to fill the void left by Ravichandran Ashwin, who retired from the IPL earlier this year.
Geral Coetzee - After releasing South Africa's pacer Lungi Ngidi, RCB may look to bring Gerald Coetzee as his replacement in the mini-auction.
Anrich Nortje - MI released Reece Topley and Lizaad Williams ahead of IPL 2026 auction, which left them in need of another overseas pacer. With only one overseas slot remaining, MI might go for Anrich Norjte have to support Trent Boult, ideally someone who can operate effectively in the middle overs.
Ben Dwarshuis or Jason Behrendroff - SRH traded Mohammed Shami to LSG and also released Simarjeet Singh. With Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, and Pat Cummins in the lineup, they still don't have a strike bowler who can get breakthroughs with the new ball, so they might target Ben Dwarshuis or Jason Behrendroff for this role
Liam Livingstone - GT are looking for someone to fill Sherfane Rutherford's role. The West Indies all-rounder excelled as GT's finisher in IPL 2025. Former RCB all-rounder Liam Livingstone is another strong contender GT could consider as Rutherford's replacement.
Matheesha Pathirana- LSG could look to bring in Pathirana as a replacement for Shamar Joseph. Pathirana, who has been a key pacer for CSK in the past, would be a valuable addition to the squad. Rahul Chahar or Adam Zampa - With LSG releasing their most experienced spinner, Ravi Bishnoi, they might acquire Bishnoi at a lower price during the IPL 2026 mini-auction or consider Rahul Chahar as a suitable replacement. LSG might also buy Adam Zampa to fill in the overseas spinner spot especially given his strong rapport with head coach Justin Langer.
Quinton de Kock - KKR released Quinton de Kock ahead of IPL 2026 mini auction, but they might buy him back as they need a experienced wicketkeeper-batter. Wiaan Mulder or Cameron Green - KKR might also target star all-rounders Wiaan Mulder or Cameron Green as a replacement for Venkatesh Iyer and Andre Russell.
Jamie Smith - PBKS might go for Jamie Smith as a replacement of Josh Inglis who was released ahead of IPL 2026 mini auction.
