IPL 2026: Full Remaining Purse of All 10 Teams After Retention
The IPL 2026 Retention Day has not only announced the retention but also ushered in a mega auction as all 10 franchises disclosed their remaining purse amounts. Leading the pack is Kolkata Knight Riders who have a whopping ₹64.3 crore, putting them in the most powerful position in the auction. Right behind them come Chennai Super Kings with ₹43.4 crore, while Sunrisers Hyderabad (₹25.5 crore), Lucknow Super Giants (₹22.95 crore) and Delhi Capitals (₹21.8 crore) still have enough money to play with.
On the contrary, teams such as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Rajasthan Royals, Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings who carry with them moderate balances, will participate in the auction with calculated moves. At the end of the list, however, the Mumbai Indians are the ones with the biggest problem to deal with—only ₹2.75 crore left which means they have to be very careful and smart in order to implement any plans related to their IPL 2026 season.
