Table of Contents
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction concluded with an electrifying session that saw franchises reshuffle their rosters through a mix of record-breaking bids and strategic acquisitions. In an auction shaped by the demand for versatile all-rounders and emerging domestic talent, the ten franchises completed their squads by filling all available slots, investing heavily while bringing in a strong mix of Indian and overseas players.
The biggest headlines were grabbed by the astronomical sums shelled out, marking new benchmarks in the league’s history. Australian all-rounder Cameron Green became the most expensive overseas player ever, snapped up by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a staggering ₹25.20 crore. Close behind was Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, who also commanded a massive price tag of ₹18 crore from KKR.
However, the real surprise of the day was the unprecedented bidding frenzy for uncapped Indian players. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) shocked many by investing a whopping ₹14.20 crore each in uncapped domestic stars Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma, making them the joint-highest-paid uncapped players in IPL history. This trend continued with Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Nabi Dar going to Delhi Capitals for ₹8.40 crore, underscoring the shift in focus towards nurturing formidable local talent.
