The IPL Auction 2026 has gone down in history. During the auction, all 10 franchises bid on 77 out of the 369 players. Cameron Green became the third most expensive player in IPL history, acquired by the Kolkata Knight Riders for 25.2 crore INR.
The IPL 2026 auction is also remembered for the high bids on uncapped Indian players. Franchises opened their wallets for these players. Prashant Veer and Karthik Sharma, whose base prices were just 30 lakhs, were bought by the 5-time IPL champions, Chennai Super Kings, with a record-breaking bid of 14.2 crore each. Previously, the record for the most expensive uncapped Indian player was held by Avesh Khan, who was claimed by the Lucknow Super Giants for 10 crore INR in the IPL 2023 auction.
The 3-time IPL champion, Kolkata Knight Riders, entered the IPL auction 2026 with the largest purse at 64.3 crore INR. They purchased Cameron Green for INR 25.2 crore and Matheesa Pathirana for INR 18 crore, highlighting their investment in expensive overseas players.
At the same time, the Mumbai Indians entered with the smallest purse of 2.75 crore INR but successfully claimed Quinton de Kock for INR 1.0 crore. De Kock has played for MI for three seasons (2019, 2020, and 2021). He played a key role in MI's 2019 and 2020 title victories. In 2019, he scored 529 runs, while in the 2020 edition, his cricket score was 503 runs.
During the auction, some big-name players remained unsold, including Steve Smith, Jonny Bairstow, Michael Bracewell, Daryl Mitchell, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Maheesh Theekshana, and others. Franchises tend to prefer young, uncapped Indian players over overseas stars. Today, in this article, we will explore the complete squads of all IPL teams for IPL 2026.
