Complete squad lists for all 10 IPL 2026 franchises — every player, their role, and the overseas picks each team has selected. Squads are finalised after the auction and updated here.
Each IPL franchise can have a maximum of 25 players in their squad, with up to 8 overseas players registered. Only 4 overseas players can feature in any playing eleven. Here are the full rosters for all 10 teams heading into IPL 2026.
Rohit Sharma (Captain, Bat) · Jasprit Bumrah (Fast) · Suryakumar Yadav (Bat) · Hardik Pandya (All-rounder) · Tilak Varma (Bat)
MI traditionally recruit explosive overseas batters and quality pace bowlers to complement their strong Indian core. Their overseas slots are among the most competitive in the auction.
Five-time champions with the most experienced leadership group in the tournament. Bumrah's pace attack is the most feared in the league. Deep batting order with match-winners across all positions. Most successful franchise in IPL history.
MS Dhoni (WK) · Ruturaj Gaikwad (Captain, Bat) · Ravindra Jadeja (All-rounder) · Deepak Chahar (Fast-medium) · Shivam Dube (All-rounder)
CSK favour experienced overseas players with proven tournament pedigree over raw talent. Their overseas selections are known for composure in high-pressure situations.
The most consistent franchise in IPL history — never finished outside the top four for multiple consecutive seasons. Dhoni's mentorship, spin-friendly home conditions, and Jadeja's all-round brilliance make them perennial threats. Five-time champions.
Virat Kohli (Bat) · Faf du Plessis (Captain, Bat) · Glenn Maxwell (All-rounder) · Mohammed Siraj (Fast) · Dinesh Karthik (WK)
RCB's overseas picks focus on explosive T20 batters and death-bowling specialists to support their batting-heavy lineup.
The most passionate fanbase in the IPL. With Kohli consistently producing massive run tallies and the Chinnaswamy Stadium's small boundaries favouring batters, RCB are always capable of posting massive totals. Their quest for a first title continues to drive extraordinary motivation.
Shreyas Iyer (Captain, Bat) · Rinku Singh (Bat) · Sunil Narine (All-rounder) · Andre Russell (All-rounder) · Varun Chakravarthy (Spin)
KKR have Narine and Russell as their cornerstone overseas players — two of the most impactful T20 cricketers of the era. Their remaining overseas slots add pace or batting depth.
Three-time champions and 2024 title holders. Their aggressive batting philosophy — particularly in the powerplay and death overs — makes them the most entertaining team to watch. Eden Gardens' atmosphere during KKR home games is unmatched in the IPL.
Pat Cummins (Captain, Fast) · Travis Head (Bat) · Heinrich Klaasen (WK-Bat) · Abhishek Sharma (Bat) · Bhuvneshwar Kumar (Fast-medium)
SRH set the IPL record for highest team total in 2024 and play the most aggressive batting cricket in the competition. Their overseas core of Cummins, Head, and Klaasen is world-class, and their young Indian batting talents are among the most exciting in the tournament.
Axar Patel (Captain, All-rounder) · David Warner (Bat) · Kuldeep Yadav (Spin) · Anrich Nortje (Fast) · Tristan Stubbs (Bat)
DC have consistently produced India's next generation of talent — Rishabh Pant, Shafali Verma, and Prithvi Shaw all emerged from this franchise. Strong overseas pace attack and quality spin options make them competitive across all conditions.
Sanju Samson (Captain, WK-Bat) · Jos Buttler (WK-Bat) · Yashasvi Jaiswal (Bat) · Yuzvendra Chahal (Leg-spin) · Trent Boult (Fast)
The original IPL champions (2008) have built a squad combining explosive top-order batting with quality spin. Samson and Buttler are two of the most destructive white-ball batters in the world. Chahal leads the IPL's all-time wicket-takers list.
Shikhar Dhawan (Captain, Bat) · Sam Curran (All-rounder) · Kagiso Rabada (Fast) · Liam Livingstone (All-rounder) · Jonny Bairstow (WK-Bat)
Punjab have the highest individual score in IPL history (Chris Gayle's 175*) and a tradition of explosive batting. Their overseas all-rounders give excellent team balance and they have strong English representation.
KL Rahul (Captain, WK-Bat) · Nicholas Pooran (WK-Bat) · Ravi Bishnoi (Leg-spin) · Avesh Khan (Fast) · Marcus Stoinis (All-rounder)
One of the newer franchises, LSG have quickly established themselves as consistent playoff contenders. KL Rahul's technical batting and Pooran's explosive hitting provide excellent top and middle order balance.
Shubman Gill (Captain, Bat) · Mohammed Shami (Fast) · Rashid Khan (Leg-spin) · David Miller (Bat) · Wriddhiman Saha (WK)
Two-time finalists who won the championship in their debut season. Gill's elegant batting, Shami's swing bowling, and Rashid Khan's unplayable leg-spin make GT one of the best-balanced squads. The Narendra Modi Stadium — the world's largest cricket ground — gives them a significant home advantage.
