IPL Mini Auction 2026: Cameron Green goes to KKR at Rs 25.20 crore

IPL Mini Auction 2026: An incredible start to the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) Mini-Auction. The price for Cameron Green is a massive statement buy by Kolkata Knight Riders. IPL Mini Auction 2026: Cameron Green goes to KKR at Rs 25.20 crore

Early IPL 2026 Auction Highlights (As of 3:00 PM IST):

Cameron Green Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) – Rs 25.20 Crore – Rs 2.00 Crore

David Miller – Delhi Capitals (DC) – Rs 2.00 Crore – Rs 2.00 Crore

KKR showed immense intent right from the start, getting into a fierce bidding war with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to secure the premier fast-bowling all-rounder. This move is largely seen as a replacement for the released Andre Russell and fills the biggest gap in KKR’s lineup.

Delhi Capitals secured the services of the dangerous South African power-hitter, David Miller, for his base price of Rs 2.00 crore, which is considered an excellent value pick for their middle order.

High -Profile Unsold Players: A few big names went unsold in the first set of capped batters, including:

Prithvi Shaw (Base Price: Rs 75 Lakh)

Devon Conway (Base Price: Rs 2.00 Crore)

Jake Fraser-McGurk (Base Price: Rs 2.00 Crore)

RCB’s Position in the Auction:

While your initial targets (Bishnoi, Iyer, Agarwal) are yet to come under the hammer, here’s the current context for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB):

Purse Remaining: Rs 16.40 Crore (They started with this amount and are yet to make a major purchase).

Slots Remaining: 8 (including 2 overseas).

The competition for other top Indian players, like Venkatesh Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi (both listed at the highest base price of Rs 2.00 crore), will be intense. The Green purchase shows that teams with big purses (like KKR, CSK) are willing to spend massive amounts on their priority targets.
