3 players LSG might release ahead of the IPL 2026 Auction

3. Arshin Kulkarni

Youngster Arshin Kulkarni was picked for ₹30 lakh, but he never got an opportunity in the playing XI due to the presence of established senior players.

With no clear role in the team, LSG may release Arshin and bring in a proven all-rounder.

2. Shahbaz Ahmed

LSG invested ₹2.4 crore in Shahbaz Ahmed, but his bowling lacked impact and his batting didn’t add value in the limited chances he got.

High economy rate with no wickets and poor batting average make him an easy release option as LSG looks to strengthen their all-rounder department.

1. David Miller

Bought for ₹7.5 crore in the 2025 auction, David Miller hasn’t delivered consistent performances for LSG, struggling to justify his hefty price tag.

With low runs and no big match-winning knocks, LSG may release Miller to free up funds and target a more reliable middle-order batter.
