Ahead of the IPL 2026 auction in Abu Dhabi, a mock auction conducted by official broadcaster Star Sports offered a glimpse into potential bidding trends, with Australian all-rounder Cameron Green emerging as the biggest draw after being sold to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a staggering ₹30.50 crore.
The mock auction, held to gauge player demand and franchise strategies ahead of the real auction scheduled in Abu Dhabi on December 16, saw all 10 IPL teams represented by former cricketers and experts. Franchises enter the mini-auction with a combined purse of around ₹237 crore and up to 77 slots to fill.
KKR, represented by Robin Uthappa and armed with the biggest purse of ₹64.30 crore, were the most aggressive bidders. Apart from Green, they also picked up Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana for ₹13 crore and England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow for ₹2.5 crore. Jamie Smith was snapped up by Gujarat Titans for ₹2 crore.
