Full List Of Sold And Unsold Players In IPL Auction 2026: Cameron Green Costliest Overseas Pick, RCB Get Venkatesh Lyer

IPL Auction 2026, full list of sold and unsold players: Australia’s all-rounder Cameron Green, who listed his name as a specialist batter in this mini auction, quite expectedly became the first player on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi to spark a bidding war between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals before the Chennai Super Kings joined the party. However, it was KKR that finally won the battle with a winning bid of ₹25.20 crore, making Green the most expensive overseas pick in the history of Indian Premier League Auctions. The first player to be picked in IPL 2026 auction was, however, South Africa’s powerhouse batter David Miller. The Delhi Capitals, surprisingly, picked him up for his base price of ₹2 crore. There were no takers for Jake Fraser-McGurk, Devon Conway, Sarfaraz Khan, and Prithvi Shaw. Shaw and Sarfaraz going unsold was a bit of a surprise but they can expect to be taken by some franchise later in the day. Another expected bidding war in set 2 for capped all-rounders was for India’s out-of-favour all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer. As many as four franchises raised the paddle for Iyer, who went for ₹23.75 crore last year. RCB outbid KKR, GT and LSG to get Venkatesh Iyer for ₹7 crore this year, which is considerably lower than his price in the previous season. KKR, who desperately need a specialist wicketkeeper-batter, did not bid for England’s Jamie Smith, who went unsold but roped in New Zealand’s Finn Allen for his base price ( ₹2 crore). Ben Duckett went to Delhi Capitals, while South Africa’s Quinton de Kock returned to the Mumbai Indians for ₹1 crore. Among bowlers, Ravi Bishnoi, Anrich Nortje, and Matheesha Pathirana can attract big bids later, while uncapped players Auqib Nabi and U19 batter Abhigyan Kundu can spark some interesting bidding wars. CSK and KKR are expected to be the busiest teams with the biggest purse and the most slots to fill in this auction. A total of 369 players are set to go under the hammer today. The 10 teams need to fill up 77 slots with a cumulative purse of ₹237.55 crore.
