Jolly Ballers Lock In Sanchayan & Thanushankaran as Retained Players for JollyBash 2026

As Jolly Bash Basketball 2026 preparations gather momentum, the organizing committee calls on all team owners to submit their retained player selections.

Each team was entitled to retain two players from their previous roster, their 1st and 2nd retained picks. These players are locked in before the auction, giving teams the foundation to build around their most trusted stars. The deadline for submissions was set at 11:59 PM on March 31st, 2026.

Jolly Ballers have made their picks.

We are proud to announce that Sanchayan and Thanushankaran have been retained as our core players for the 2026 season. Both players have been instrumental to the Jolly Ballers' identity, and their retention signals a clear statement of intent heading into the auction.

The retained player window is a crucial phase in Jolly Bash - it sets the tone for each team's strategy heading into the auction. Retaining the right players can make or break a season, and this year's decisions are more important than ever with the introduction of the new guest player rule.

With our foundation set, the focus now shifts to the auction. The squad is taking shape, and the best is yet to come. 🏀🔥
