The Indian Premier League (IPL 2026 retention deadline is approaching fast. Fans are anticipating that a few big names will be released from the franchises and the upcoming auction will end up being an exciting one. Ahead of that, franchises are looking to trade a few players among themselves and seal better deal before releasing players into auction pool. Several names have come up including the likes of Sanju Samson, KL Rahul and others who can be potentially traded to another franchise.
