Sam Curran (IPL 2026 Released Players) scored only 114 runs in 5 matches of IPL 2025 and took only 1 wicket. Therefore, CSK has made up its mind to drop him from the team.

2.Glenn Maxwell

3. Rasikh Dar

There are reports that, since he is worth Rs 23 crore, Sunrisers Hyderabad can no longer afford him. If Kavya Maran releases the South African cricketer (IPL 2026 Released Players), then Rs 23 crore will be added to her purse. In such a situation, the franchise can buy 3 players at once for the same amount, which they need.
