The IPL 2026 mini-auction has begun, and as per expectations, the 26-year-old Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is reportedly the costliest bid of this mini-auction. The Kolkata Knight Riders went all out to grab the lanky all-rounder for a whopping INR 25.20 crores after an intense bidding war with the Chennai Super Kings.
The Kolkata Knight Riders then engaged in a fierce battle for their costliest player from the last auction, that is, Venkatesh Iyer. They, however, withdrew when RCB bid 7 crores for the batting all-rounder. KKR then got their hands on Finn Allen, the explosive New Zealand opener and wicket-keeper, at his base price.
After being bought for a whopping INR 25.20 crores, Cameron Green became the costliest-ever player for the Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise that is known for making massive buys. He surpassed the former highest bid placed for Australian speedster Mitchell Starc.
Cameron Green is now the costliest overseas player in IPL history
Cameron Green is also officially one of the costliest overseas players in the history of the IPL. Formerly, this record was also held by fellow Australians like Pat Cummins and then Mitchell Starc.
The amount above the cap of 18 crores shall be passed onto the BCCI's welfare fund. However, the team purses would be deducted an exact amount of INR 25.20 crore, and the player shall also not be handed the money; the money is entirely and rightfully belonging to the BCCI.
