Base price could affect IPL 2026 chances

In a mini auction, teams usually look for value picks. A high base price can reduce interest.

5. Daniel Sams – INR 1 crore

Sams has experience, but teams may weigh current form and value before bidding.

4. Jacob Duffy – INR 2 crore

He is a solid fast bowler, but teams may look for safer or lower priced options.

3. Cooper Connolly – INR 2 crore

A young all rounder, yet limited IPL exposure may work against him at this price.

2. Ben Duckett – INR 2 crore

Duckett plays attacking cricket, but franchises may prefer cheaper overseas batters.

1. Jake Fraser McGurk – INR 2 crore

He is an exciting batter, but teams may hesitate because of the high base price.
