IPL 2026 Auction Recap: Complete Roster of Sold and Unsold Players for All 10 Teams

Cameron Green made headlines as the highest-valued player at the Indian Premier League 2026 auction, fetching a staggering ₹25.20 crore from the Kolkata Knight Riders at the event held at the Etihad Centre in Abu Dhabi. The bidding war for the Australian all-rounder saw competition between Chennai Super Kings and KKR. Having previously played for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Green now stands as the third most expensive player ever sold at an IPL auction, following Rishabh Pant (₹27 crore) and Shreyas Iyer (₹26.75 crore), and is the costliest all-rounder and foreign player in IPL history.

Uttar Pradesh’s Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma, a Rajasthan wicketkeeper-batter, were bought by CSK for more than 47 times their base price, setting a record as the highest-priced uncapped Indian players at ₹14.20 crore during the December 16 auction.

Similar to previous years, an intense bidding session was sparked by Venkatesh Iyer, with RCB emerging victorious by securing the Madhya Pradesh all-rounder for ₹7 crore. Meanwhile, KKR made a strategic move to acquire Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana for an impressive ₹18 crore, preparing him for critical death-over roles.

The mini-auction saw a total of 369 players on offer, with 10 franchises completing their rosters by filling 77 available slots.
