The IPL 2026 mini auction is just around the corner, and all the cricket enthusiasts are waiting for just one question to be answered, which is who will be the player who will start the highest bidding war in this year’s auction.
A new rule has come up for the overseas players that they cannot have a higher salary than Rs 18 crore, but even so, our AI analysis still spots the star of the auction as the one and only Cameron Green. It is not hard to imagine that the bidding for his services might exceed Rs 20 crore and that he would be the one getting the most media coverage.
Reason why Cameron Green might start the highest bidding war
Green is the type of player that every team would wish for, but unfortunately, they hardly ever discover such a player. The Australian all-rounder has the ability to start like a rocket from the top of the batting order, to control the situation if necessary, and to deliver fast and high bowling.
This is a treasure in T20 cricket, and there are not many players who can perform all these things, especially not the overseas ones.
Why Cameron Green tops the players acquiring list of KKR and CSK
Possibly, KKR and CSK are highlighting his name at the top of the list of players they want to acquire. The budgets of both teams are huge this year, where KKR is walking into the IPL mini auction with a purse of Rs 64.3 crore and CSK with Rs 43.4 crore.
KKR requires a player to take the place of Andre Russell, who is a big hole in their team, while CSK has lost Sam Curran, thus they are looking for an all-rounder too. To be honest, for both, Green is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
