3. Cameron Green - 25.20 crore

Cameron Green was expected to be a hot pick at the IPL 2026 mini-auction. KKR and Chennai Super Kings had huge purses heading into the event and were being considered prime contenders to acquire his services.

The two teams battled hard at the auction table and eventually, KKR roped him in for INR 25.20 crore. This made the Aussie all-rounder the most expensive player in KKR history. Green could be an ideal replacement for Andre Russell, who retired from the IPL after being released by the Knights last month.
