IPL 2021 Released Players List for All Teams | Players Released before the 2021 Auction

IPL 2021 Released Players List | A Mini-auction before IPL 2021 means that all the IPL teams will release a few players ahead of the new IPL season

A lot of speculations were put to rest when BCCI decided to postpone the IPL mega-auction, which was slated to be held in 2021, by a year. It has been understood that the move to defer the mega-auction was made as the board plans to extend the IPL 2022 with the inclusion of potentially two more teams. IPL cricket is a great platform for some of the youngsters eager to make a name for themselves in this sport. However, with a mini-auction on the cards in 2021, not many players are likely to get a chance to showcase their worth on the big stage. Though a mini-auction before IPL 2021 would allow teams to pick a few players to fill in the gaps in their already built IPL squads.

Here's a look at the list of players who were released by each team ahead of the IPL 2021 auction:
