The IPL 2027 mini-auction is scheduled to take place in December, with all 10 franchises required to submit their retention lists by November 15. The player trade window will remain open until one week before the auction. Ahead of the new season, four players have reportedly switched teams through two trade deals, with Rishabh Pant and T. Natarajan agreeing to salary reductions as part of their moves.
While speculation has linked several big names, including Hardik Pandya, Abhishek Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sam Curran, with possible trades, only two deals involving four players have been reported so far.
