IPL 2026: The IPL 2026 auction is likely to take place in the month of December. Lucknow Super Giants, who were eliminated from the league stage last time, are seen in a lot of action this time with their players. It seems certain that these 5 will be eliminated.
LSG Release Update, IPL 2026 Auction: The stage is set for the 19th season of IPL. Like every time, this time too the auction is going to be held before the start of the tournament. A possible date for this has also been revealed. According to Cricbuzz report, the IPL 2026 auction is likely to take place between December 13 and 15. However, the dates are still yet to be officially announced. But, teams will have to release players before November 15. Meanwhile, the retention list of Lucknow Super Giants team, which had the worst form last season, is also coming out. The cards of these 5 players can be cut.
Mayank Yadav
Raftaar Express Mayank Yadav’s name comes first in the list, whose chances of release seem quite high. Last season, Mayank was not able to play much for the team due to injury. Played only 2 matches in IPL 2025 and took 2 wickets. Injury is a big problem for them. In such a situation, LSG would not want to increase the burden by keeping this bowler with them. This bowler had performed well in 2024 and came into limelight.
sky lamp
Lucknow Super Giants can show the way out to another fast bowler Akash Deep. IPL 2025 was not special for this right-arm fast bowler. He played 6 matches and took only 3 wickets. Apart from this, his economy rate was 12.05. Akash joined the team after mid-season. In such a situation, it does not seem possible for him to play for Lucknow next season.
david miller
David Miller, one of South Africa’s best finishers, can also be released by Lucknow Super Giants for the next season. Miller was bought by LSG from Gujarat Titans in the mega auction last season. But the performance of this batsman has been quite disappointing. Scored 153 runs in 11 matches in IPL 2025, with an average of 30.60 and strike rate of 127.50. Could not even score a half century in the entire season. In such a situation, the possibility of their release is high.

Shahbaz Ahmed
All-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed can also be dropped from the Lucknow Super Giants team. This player was released from Sunrisers Hyderabad in the mega auction last season, after which Lucknow Super Giants joined him. But after playing only 1 innings with the bat, he scored 9 runs and took 1 wicket in 3 innings with the ball. In such a situation, his ticket may be cut from this team for the next season.
Shamar Joseph
West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph was hurriedly bought by Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2024 auction. But, first he was troubled by injury, then later he could not play in a match. In the year 2024, he got a chance to play only 1 match, in which he did not do anything special and gave 48 runs in 4 overs. After that he could not play in the 2025 IPL. In such a situation, now it is considered almost certain that the ticket of this player will be cut.
