IPL 2026 Auction: Green Goes To KKK For Record Fee Of 25.20 Cr; RCB Takes Venkatesh For Rs 7 Cr
Indian Premier League: Australian allrounder Cameron Green batted for the biggest pay cheque at the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 mini-auction here at the Etihad Arena, when three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) acquired his services for a whopping price of Rs 25 crore, while reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru bought India allrounder Venkatesh Iyer for Rs 7 crore.
Registered as a batter, owing to a goof-up by his manager during the player auction registration, Green went past the previous record set by his Australia teammate Mitchell Starc, who was bought by KKR for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction.
Cameron made his IPL debut in the 2023 season after Mumbai Indians (MI) bought him for Rs 17.5 crore. Notably, at the time, he became the second most expensive overseas player in IPL auction history, besides being the most expensive Australian player.
