Cricket fans are now fully focused on the IPL 2026 auction. The player who has become the main attraction of the auction is none other than Australia’s Cameron Green. Two major franchises, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), are entering this season with the biggest budgets—₹43.4 crore and ₹64.3 crore, respectively. This means both teams have the financial capacity to bid big for him.
KKR’s primary aim is to strengthen their squad after Andre Russell’s release by adding a powerful overseas hitter and a fast-bowling option. On the other hand, Chennai is mainly focused on rebuilding the team balance. They are looking for a player who can perform in the top order and also provide depth with medium-fast bowling.
Cameron Green fits both requirements perfectly. His all-round abilities and world-class performances have made him the “most valuable” target of the auction. With a base price of ₹2 crore, a fierce bidding war is expected for this pace-bowling all-rounder. Experts predict that his price could cross the ₹15 crore mark.
Cricket fans are buzzing with excitement. Who will win this auction battle—CSK or KKR? This December auction is surely set to be an electrifying battlefield.
