Camron green

Kolkata Knight Riders: Australia all-rounder Cameron Green made headlines on Tuesday after being roped in by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a record sum of Rs. 25.20 crore at the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction, underway at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

Due to a mistake by his manager during the player auction registration, Green was registered as a batter. However, he clarified later that he’d be available to bowl as well at the tournament.

By marking his availability as an all-rounder, he surpassed the previous record held by his Australia teammate Mitchell Starc, who was bought by KKR for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction.
