KKR (₹64.3 Cr) and CSK (₹43.4 Cr) possess the two largest purses, giving them the maximum financial muscle to outbid all rivals.
KKR needs a like-for-like overseas power-hitter and fast-bowling option after the high-profile release of Andre Russell.
CSK wants to rebuild their balance after major trades by targeting a versatile top-order batter who can also offer fast-medium bowling depth.
Cameron Green is the premier pace-bowling all-rounder available in the ₹2 Crore base price bracket, inflating his true value due to high demand and low supply.
Green's rare skillset makes him the undisputed top-tier target of the mini-auction, ensuring a high-value bidding frenzy between the two cash-rich franchises.
Due to the financial strength and demand from both teams, Green is universally tipped to fetch the highest price of the auction, likely pushing past the ₹15 Crore mark.
