IPL 2026 Auction live updates: Cameron Green clears air!

Australia star all-rounder Cameron Green has cleared the air about why he was listed as a “pure batter” for the IPL 2026 auction, even though he is well known as an all-rounder. According to Green, the reason is very simple; it was just a paperwork mistake, not a change in his role or a concern about his fitness.

"I don't know if my manager would like to hear this, but there was a stuff-up on his end. He didn't mean to say 'batter'. I think he accidentally selected the wrong box. It was pretty funny how it's all played out, but it was actually a stuff-up on his end," he said.

Clearly, Green has upped his stakes after confirming that he will be available as an all-rounder!!

IPL 2026 Auction live updates: Venkatesh Iyer announces top form ahead of auction🔥

Venkatesh Iyer, who was released by Kolkata Knight Riders after being bought for ₹23.75 crore at the IPL 2025 auction, looks set for another big payday. The all-rounder reminded franchises of his value with a strong performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy Elite 2025 Super League Group A match against Punjab.

Iyer scored a fluent 70 off 43 balls, including two sixes, underlining his batting form and impact in the shortest format. His timely knock comes just ahead of the IPL auction, strengthening his case as a sought-after all-round option for teams in need of balance and firepower.

Despite years of strong domestic performances, Abhimanyu Easwaran is yet to make his India debut, but the Bengal opener has received a timely boost ahead of the IPL auction in Abu Dhabi. The BCCI has added his name to the auction list at the last moment as Player No. 360, with Easwaran set to enter the bidding with a base price of ₹30 lakh.

Although primarily known as a red-ball specialist with consistent domestic and India A performances, the 30-year-old also boasts solid T20 numbers, scoring 1,242 runs in 41 matches at an average of 38.81 and a strike rate of 132.97, including two hundreds and six fifties.

IPL 2026 Auction live updates: Who is Mallika Sagar, the auctioneer?😦

Mallika Sagar is now a familiar face in the IPL, having built an impressive career as an auctioneer. Born in Mumbai in 1975, she developed an early interest in auctioneering after reading about a female auctioneer, which later shaped her professional journey.

She studied in the United States, earning a degree in Art History from Bryn Mawr College, before beginning her career at Christie’s in New York in 2001. At just 26, she became the first Indian woman auctioneer there.

Returning to India, she worked with Pundole’s Art Gallery and entered sports auctions in 2021 with Pro Kabaddi. She later led WPL auctions and made history as the first woman to conduct an IPL auction.

Australian all-rounder Cameron Green and England wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith, both proven T20 players who are expected to attract strong interest from multiple franchises. Venkatesh Iyer is also among the top interests for franchises.

IPL 2026 Auction live updates: How will the bidding take place? 🔨

• A total of 369 players will go under the hammer at the IPL 2026 auction, divided into 42 sets.
• The sets are grouped based on player roles — batters, bowlers, all-rounders and wicketkeepers — and further classified as capped or uncapped players.
• Each set has been numbered, and the auction will move set by set in sequence.
• Set 1 features capped batters, including players like Cameron Green, David Miller and Prithvi Shaw.
• The first uncapped players will appear in Set 6.
• Unlike a mega auction, the IPL 2026 auction will not have a marquee set.
• Players have been assigned base prices ranging from a minimum of ₹40 lakh to a maximum of ₹2 crore.

IPL 2026 Auction live: The new 'Maximum Fee' cap rule explained

The IPL 2026 mini-auction brings in a new rule to maintain financial balance among franchises, enforcing the BCCI’s “maximum fee” cap for overseas players.

• Under this rule, overseas players cannot earn more than ₹18 crore, even if franchises bid higher during the auction.
• Teams are allowed to bid above ₹18 crore, but the player’s actual salary will be capped at ₹18 crore.
• Any amount above ₹18 crore from the winning bid will be transferred to the BCCI Welfare Fund, not paid to the player.
• The ₹18 crore cap is decided by the lower of two values, the highest retention price in the current cycle (₹18 crore), or the highest winning bid from the previous mega auction.

• Although the highest bid in the last mega auction went up to ₹27 crore (Rishabh Pant to LSG), the cap for the IPL 2026 mini-auction remains ₹18 crore, as it is the lower benchmark.
• For example, if an overseas player is bid for ₹20 crore, the player will still receive only ₹18 crore.
• The extra ₹2 crore from that bid will go directly to the BCCI Welfare Fund.
• Importantly, franchises do not get any purse relief due to this cap.
• A team bidding ₹20 crore will have the full ₹20 crore deducted from its auction purse, even though the player earns only ₹18 crore.
