The Road to IPL 2026 Begins
The excitement for IPL 2026 is already reaching fever pitch as the BCCI prepares for the much-anticipated Mega Auction. Unlike mini-auctions, this event will reshape the core of every franchise.
Key Retention Rules
According to recent reports, teams might be allowed to retain up to 5 players. This includes a mix of:
Capped Indian Players: The core strength of the team.
Overseas Stars: The X-factors.
Uncapped Talent: The future of the franchise.
The Return of RTM (Right to Match)
Fans are most excited about the potential return of the RTM card. This allows a team to buy back their former player by matching the highest bid during the auction.
Conclusion
With a higher salary cap expected this year, we might see some record-breaking bids. Stay tuned for the official date announcement!
