5 overseas players who could shake up IPL 2026 Auction

4. Lhuan-dre Pretorius

With Rajasthan Royals' stacked with top-order alternatives, Lhuan-dre Pretorius might well be released by the franchise. The powerful left-handed batter has only recently stepped onto the international arena but has impressed by his skillsets. He is also an able wicketkeeper.

Pretorious was South Africa's leading run-scorer at the 2023 U-19 World Cup and has all the abilities of getting off to a flyer at the top of the order. His fearless nature and aggressive batting could attract multiple bids.
