The Indian Premier League (IPL) mini auction will be held in Abu Dhabi on December 16, in which more than 300 players will go under the hammer. With only 77 slots available across all the franchises, the focus of the teams will be on identifying the right combinations for IPL 2026. However, many players listed as all-rounders may not get the kind of bids they expect as franchises often give preference to specialists, especially in mini-auctions with limited budget flexibility.
To maximize their chances of earning a higher salary, some players may consider changing their primary role, given that their recent performance and value to teams has largely come in that particular role. Here are five players who could benefit from a change in role in the auction list.
