Squads of All Teams IPL 2026: The IPL 2026 Auction delivered everything fans expected—record-breaking bids, aggressive franchise strategies, and a strong focus on future-ready talent. As widely predicted, Cameron Green emerged as the biggest buy of the auction.
KKR secured Green for ₹25.20 crore, making him the most expensive overseas player in IPL history. Only Rishabh Pant, bought for ₹27 crore by Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025, stands above him overall.
Due to the BCCI’s revised auction rules, Green will personally receive ₹18 crore, with the remaining ₹7.5 crore going to the BCCI.
