As expected, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green became the most expensive player of the 2026 IPL auction. And as predicted by most, he was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), who breached the INR 25 crore mark for the 26-year-old.
KKR purchased Cameron Green for INR 25.2 crore in the IPL auction 2026, making him the second-most expensive player in IPL history behind Rishabh Pant, who was bought for INR 27 crore by Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2025 mega auction.
Green is the most expensive overseas player in the IPL, breaking Mitchell Starc’s price of INR 24.75 crore in the 2024 auction, also by KKR.
But Green will get INR 18 crore, and the rest, INR 7.5 crore, will go to the BCCI because of the BCCI’s new rule regarding capping the amount an overseas player can get through the auction.
Further, Chennai Super Kings went all out for Uttar Pradesh’s Prashant Veer (left-arm spinning all-rounder) and Rajasthan’s Kartik Sharma (wicket-keeper and lower-order batsman) as the five-time champions look for future replacements for Ravindra Jadeja, whom they traded to Rajasthan Royals, and MS Dhoni, who is 44 years old. Both the uncapped players were bought for INR 14.2 crore each, becoming the most expensive uncapped players in IPL history.
KKR shelled out INR 18 crore on Matheesha Pathirana, while Liam Livingstone fetched INR 13 crore from Sunrisers Hyderabad. Among the other big-money purchases were Mustafizur Rahman, Josh Inglis, Auqib Dar, Ravi Bishnoi, Jason Holder, and Venkatesh Iyer.
