The player auction ahead of IPL 2026 will take place on December 16. With the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy going on, uncapped players have had an opportunity to make a case for themselves. Among them, Yash Dhull, Manisankar Murasingh, Auqib Nabi, Raj Limbani, and Ashok Sharma could land big paydays. Uncapped talent from state leagues will also be in focus.
