After being released by the Lucknow Super Giants prior to the IPL 2026 auction, Yuzvendra Chahal is certain that Ravi Bishnoi will sign with the Rajasthan Royals. Chahal, the top spinner for the Punjab Kings, discussed Bishnoi's future during a humorous Instagram Live session. The focus now is on the remaining spots that will be filled at the IPL 2026 mini auction in Abu Dhabi on December 16, since all 10 teams have confirmed their retention lists for the 2026 season.

Ravi Bishnoi, an Indian leg spinner, was one of the players released by their teams. The youthful spinner, who has already claimed more than 72 wickets in his IPL career, was unexpectedly let go by the Lucknow Super Giants. After a challenging 2025 season in which he took just nine wickets in eleven games, LSG released him after keeping him for a substantial eleven crore in the previous season.

Several teams are still interested in Bishnoi despite a difficult year. He continues to be one of the more appealing Indian spin options in the league thanks to his innate ability to take wickets, his background in international cricket, and his ability to manage the middle overs. At the next auction, numerous franchisees are anticipated to actively pursue him.

Following a lighthearted conversation between Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal on Instagram Live, speculation over his next team became more intense. Chahal hinted that Bishnoi would be joining the Rajasthan Royals for the upcoming season during their conversation. Chahal replied, "Bishnoi, mujhe feeling aa rhi hai tu Rajasthan jayega IPL mai."

Participating in the banter, Bishnoi made a clever retort that immediately attracted notice on social media. He stated, "To bas aapki feeling ke against thodi na jayenge."

The growing rumors were further ignited by this lighthearted exchange.

When Chahal jokingly cautioned Bishnoi not to disregard his advice, the debate grew even more amusing. "Ja bhai, mere against hi jaa vrna domestic hi khelta reh jayega," Chahal added, alluding to his own ongoing absence from the Indian squad.
