"KKR then outmuscled DC and LSG to pick Matheesha Pathirana for INR 18 crore"
Kolkata Knight Riders have shattered IPL history by signing Cameron Green for a whopping INR 25.20 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, eclipsing their own record for Mitchell Starc's 24.75 crore. The Aussie all-rounder becomes the priciest overseas buy, outbidding even Pat Cummins's 20.5 crore haul.
All-Rounder Auction Frenzy
Green pockets the capped 18 crore salary, with the surplus fueling BCCI coffers, after smashing 707 runs at a blistering 153.69 strike rate for MI and RCB. His towering presence promises KKR the balance they craved post-title triumph. The bidding war echoed last year's Venkatesh Iyer duel, but RCB snatched the Indian star this time.
While Liam Livingstone found no takers, Green's versatility—power-hitting and seam—ignites IPL 2026 hype. KKR fans dream of a Narine-Green duo delivering Dhoni-style finishes in knockout chases. This mega coup signals franchises going all-in for glory.
