The IPL Auction 2026 witnessed a historic moment as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) secured Australian all-rounder Cameron Green with a staggering ₹25.2 crore bid, making him the most expensive player in IPL history. The record-breaking deal came after an intense bidding war, with franchises like Chennai Super Kings (CSK) showing strong interest, but ultimately being outbid by KKR.
Cameron Green has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile T20 players in the world. His ability to contribute with explosive batting, pace bowling, and dynamic fielding makes him a dream pick for any franchise. KKR’s investment reflects their ambition to build a team capable of challenging for the title while relying on high-impact players who can change the course of a match single-handedly.
The auction also saw Venkatesh Iyer move to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), adding another layer of excitement to the team reshuffles this season. As the IPL gears up for 2026, all eyes will be on Cameron Green to see if he can justify the enormous price tag and deliver match-winning performances for KKR. With this signing, KKR not only made history but also set a new benchmark for future IPL auctions.
