T20 Mumbai League 2026 Auction Results: Full Squads, Top Buys & Star Retentions

The T20 Mumbai League 2026 auction results lit up the cricket calendar on May 2 as eight franchises battled it out to build squads for Season 4. Star retentions like Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer set the tone early, but the real fireworks came when bids flew for domestic standouts and rising talents. The auction room in Mumbai crackled with tension. Paddles shot skyward. Local heroes found new homes while franchises locked in the perfect mix of power and experience ahead of the June 2 season start.

You could almost hear the collective gasp when Akash Parkar’s price kept climbing. The all-rounder, who tore it up in the previous edition, became the day’s biggest prize. ARCS Andheri went on a spending spree too, snapping up key pieces to surround their icon player. This wasn’t just an auction. It was Mumbai cricket at its most intense, with every rupee signaling serious title ambitions.

Star Retentions That Shaped the 2026 Season

Before a single bid dropped, the Mumbai Cricket Association locked in eight icon players and supporting cores that gave each franchise its identity. These retentions kept familiar faces in familiar colors and gave fans something to cheer even before the auction began.

• Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburbs: Sarfaraz Khan (Icon Player), Shams Mulani, Jay Bista
• ARCS Andheri: Shivam Dube (Icon Player), Pragnesh Kanpillewar, Deepak Shetty
• Bandra Blasters: Yashasvi Jaiswal (Icon Player), Suved Parkar, Dhrumil Matkar
• Mumbai South Central Maratha Royals: Tushar Deshpande (Icon Player), Siddhesh Lad, Rohan Raje
• North Mumbai Panthers: Ajinkya Rahane (Icon Player), Abhigyan Kundu, Tanush Kotian
• SoBo Mumbai Falcons: Shreyas Iyer (Icon Player), Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Harsh Aghav
• Eagle Thane Strikers: Shardul Thakur (Icon Player), Atharva Ankolekar, Sairaj Patil
• Triumph Knights Mumbai North East: Suryakumar Yadav (Icon Player), Ayush Mhatre, Suryansh Shedge

These moves weren’t random. Franchises protected proven match-winners while leaving room in the purse for auction steals. Suryakumar Yadav, fresh off leading India to T20 World Cup glory, anchors the Knights. Shreyas Iyer gives the Falcons stability at the top.

Top Auction Buys That Stole the Show

The real drama unfolded once the hammer fell. Franchises chased all-rounders and explosive batters with everything they had. Here’s how the biggest deals broke down:

What the Auction Means for the 2026 Title Race

ARCS Andheri walked away looking stacked on paper. Pairing Shivam Dube with fresh blood like Musheer Khan and Arjun Tendulkar gives them balance across all phases. SoBo Mumbai Falcons added Akash Parkar to an already dangerous top order led by Shreyas Iyer. North Mumbai Panthers brought in experience around Ajinkya Rahane, while the Maratha Royals beefed up their middle order and pace attack.

One thing stood out watching the bids climb: Mumbai’s domestic talent pool runs deeper than ever. A kid like Arjun Tendulkar fetching five times his base price shows how these leagues keep careers alive and fans engaged. You could feel the pride in the room every time a local boy got picked up. The 2026 season is going to be loud, competitive, and full of stories waiting to unfold at Wankhede and beyond.
