Cricket

Australian players have always carried massive demand in the IPL for their power-hitting, pace, and big-match mentality. As IPL 2026 approaches, here are five Aussie stars who could trigger huge bidding wars

5. Spencer Johnson

A 140+ kmph left-arm quick with bounce and swing. Past high bids (₹10 Cr in 2024) show his demand, and his developing death-overs skill makes him a valuable T20 asset

4. Jake Fraser-McGurk

A fearless Powerplay striker with a massive strike rate (234 in IPL 2024). Even after a dip in form, his raw explosiveness keeps him a tempting high-reward pick for franchises

3. Matthew Short

An explosive BBL performer and two-time BBL Player of the Tournament. His ability to open or play middle order and bowl off-spin, gives teams major tactical flexibility

2. Cooper Connolly

A calm, composed young all-rounder who shines under pressure. His batting depth and handy spin make him the kind of smart investment teams like CSK value

1. Cameron Green

A rare pace bowling all-rounder who can bat anywhere. With 707 IPL runs at a 153+ strike rate and 16 wickets across two seasons, Green’s proven value could push his price even higher
