    Kolkata Knight Riders: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have released superstar all-rounder Andre Russell, ending a long and decorated association with the franchise ahead of the IPL 2026 auction. Russell, who was with KKR for ₹12 crore, headlines a dramatic overhaul that sees the two-time champions part ways with nine players, including six overseas names and high-profile Indian performers.

    Along with West Indies' Russell, KKR has also released Venkatesh Iyer (₹23.75 crore), Quinton de Kock (₹3.60 crore), Moeen Ali (₹2 crore), Anrich Nortje (₹6.50 crore), Spencer Johnson (₹2.80 crore), Rahmanullah Gurbaz (₹2 crore), Chetan Sakariya (₹75 lakh), and Luvnith Sisodia (₹30 lakh).

    The franchise, a three-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champion, has further completed a trade, sending Mayank Markande (₹30 lakh) to the Mumbai Indians in exchange for left-arm pacer Arjun Tendulkar, who now joins the retained group at ₹30 lakh.
