Venkatesh Iyer, Liam Livingstone also in focus as Knight Riders, Super Kings ready to loosen purse strings
Cameron Green could well be the biggest beneficiary of IPL's skewed demand-supply market dynamic surrounding seam-bowling all-rounders during the mini-auction here on Tuesday with Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings seemingly ready to break the bank for the Australian.
The 10 teams need to fill up 77 slots with a cumulative purse of ₹237.55 crore and among them, Mumbai Indians (₹2.75 crore) will hardly have any role to play save picking a few uncapped players at their base price.
Green, along with out-of-favour India all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer and English dasher Liam Livingstone, is likely to enjoy a handsome payday.
Kolkata Knight Riders, with a purse of ₹4.30 crore and an eye on rebuilding the outfit with 13 slots to fill, can only be challenged by Chennai Super Kings, who enter the mini-auction with a purse of ₹43.40 crore.
