RR retained and released players list before IPL 2026 auction
Rajasthan Royals has released its list of retained and released players ahead of the IPL 2026 mini-auction on December 16. All 10 franchises submitted their lists to the BCCI before the November 15 deadline.
Royals are coming off a difficult 2025 season, with only four wins in 14 matches and a second-from-bottom finish. The squad has undergone significant churn since then. Former captain Sanju Samson has moved to Chennai Super Kings, while the franchise has added Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran through trades.
Here is a detailed look at who stays and who leaves:
Released list
Sanju Samson, Nitish Rana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana
