In a week, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will be over. And the preparations for the next edition will commence. For teams like Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, there is a lot to ponder. They’ll begin with determining who to release and who to retain.
Former Punjab Kings coach Anil Kumble has given his opinion on whom franchises will decide to continue with and those they’ll let go of.
Anil Kumble’s IPL 2026 retentions
Despite poor returns, injury, a big price tag and increasing age, among other factors, Kumble thinks that Rishabh Pant, Mayank Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ishan Kishan and Dhruv Jurel should be retained.

But some players just can’t be persisted with. Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin are struggling. One with fitness, the other with age. Kumble releases them both. It’s a no-brainer that Venkatesh Iyer, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Devon Conway will be released.
