Ten teams, captains, and the 2026 table

The ten sides

Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants, and Gujarat Titans. The overview line on the October capture spells Royal Challengers as Bangalore. The season page and the May cards spell it Bengaluru. That page calls Bengaluru the 2026 champions and Gujarat Titans the runners-up.

The 74 scores are on fixtures.

How to read a role

• Batters and wicket-keepers score for runs, boundaries, and strike rate, and lose points for a duck.
• Bowlers score for wickets, with more for bowled and LBW, and for economy after the minimum overs on that block.
• Catches, stumpings, and run-outs are fielding points on both blocks.
• An all-rounder is the role that can touch more than one of those blocks in the same match.

The numeric rows stay on Points. Each role still needs at least 1 and at most 8 players, and at most 10 of the 11 can come from one of these sides.

How to read a squad

The 17 October 2026 page asks you to separate players who are in the side every match from players who rotate. It also says a real playing side can field 4 overseas players, so a long overseas list means some of those names sit out. The names below are the season page’s captains and leaders, not a credit price and not a promise that each of them played every match. A name-by-name sheet of 25 is still not on that page.

• Wait for the playing XI. A rotated player scores nothing if he is not in it.
• An all-rounder is worth more on these tables when both the bat and the ball are actually used.
• An X-factor substitute, on the Real11 points page, gets 4 points for being announced and then the points for what he does.
• Openers are not a separate pay grade. They matter when they face enough balls for the strike-rate rows, 10 in the first block and 20 in the second.

Auction notes from the season page

These figures are the English Wikipedia season page, read 19 October 2026. They are auction prices, not Real11 credits. Retention lists were due before 15 November 2025, and 173 players were retained. The auction was 16 December 2025 in Abu Dhabi. Each franchise’s purse on that page is ₹125 crore. It counts 1,355 registered players, 369 shortlisted, 156 in the auction, and 77 sold.

Cameron Green, bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹25.20 crore, is called the most expensive overseas player and the third most expensive player in the league’s history. Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma, bought by Chennai Super Kings for ₹14.20 crore each, are called the joint-most expensive uncapped players. Mustafizur Rahman was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹9.2 crore. In January 2026 the board asked that franchise to release him and allowed a replacement. The page also names 79 unsold players and gives examples, not the whole list: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Jonny Bairstow, Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway, Alzarri Joseph, Gus Atkinson, Deepak Hooda, and Karn Sharma.

Captains the season page prints

The same table notes stand-in captains. Yashasvi Jaiswal led Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans when Riyan Parag was unavailable. Jitesh Sharma led Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Punjab Kings when Rajat Patidar was unavailable. Suryakumar Yadav led Mumbai Indians against Lucknow Super Giants and against Royal Challengers Bengaluru when Hardik Pandya was unavailable. Jasprit Bumrah led Mumbai Indians against Punjab Kings when both Hardik Pandya and Suryakumar Yadav were unavailable. Ishan Kishan led Sunrisers Hyderabad for the first seven matches when Pat Cummins was unavailable.

League table

Sorted as the season page sorts it: points, then wins, then net run rate. The first two advanced to Qualifier 1. The next two advanced to the Eliminator. The rest were eliminated. The page also writes “(4th)” beside Sunrisers Hyderabad and “(3rd)” beside Rajasthan Royals. Those two words sit on the names. They do not change the points order below. (C) is champions. (R) is runners-up.

Runs and wickets

These are the season page’s lists, not Real11 fantasy points. The most-valuable column is that page’s own points table.

On that page’s award list, without the prize amounts: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is most valuable player, most runs, emerging player, and most sixes. Kagiso Rabada took the most wickets. Sai Sudharsan hit the most fours. Mohammed Siraj bowled the most dot balls. Manish Pandey, of Kolkata Knight Riders, is named for the catch of the season.
