IPL 2026: Cameron Green is at the center of franchise attention; could he set a new auction record?

Australia’s star all-rounder Cameron Green is all set to make waves in the IPL 2026 mini-auction, with a record-breaking price on the horizon. His clever strategy has made him a hot contender. Normally listed under ‘all-rounders’, Green registered in the batsmen category, ensuring he enters the auction when franchises still have full budgets.

By appearing in the first set of the auction, he maximizes his chances of a high bid. If he had come later, teams might have spent much of their budget on earlier players, limiting competition for him.

The first set also features Devon Conway, Jake Fraser-McGurk, David Miller, Srfraz Khan, and Prithvi Shaw. Green has played 29 IPL matches, scoring 707 runs at a 153.69 strike rate, including one century and two half-centuries, along with 16 wickets at 9.07 economy.

With these stats and his strategic move, Green is poised to hit the jackpot on December 16!
