The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction concluded with an electrifying session that saw franchises reshuffle their rosters through a mix of record-breaking bids and strategic acquisitions. In an auction shaped by the demand for versatile all-rounders and emerging domestic talent, the ten franchises completed their squads by filling all available slots, investing heavily while bringing in a strong mix of Indian and overseas players.
Cameron Green becomes most expensive buy
The biggest headlines were grabbed by the astronomical sums shelled out, marking new benchmarks in the league’s history. Australian all-rounder Cameron Green became the most expensive overseas player ever, snapped up by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a staggering ₹25.20 crore. Close behind was Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, who also commanded a massive price tag of ₹18 crore from KKR.
Uncapped duo surprised many fans
However, the real surprise of the day was the unprecedented bidding frenzy for uncapped Indian players. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) shocked many by investing a whopping ₹14.20 crore each in uncapped domestic stars Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma, making them the joint-highest-paid uncapped players in IPL history. This trend continued with Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi Dar going to Delhi Capitals for ₹8.40 crore, underscoring the shift in focus towards nurturing formidable local talent.
