IPL 2026: Full Squads Of All The 10 Franchises

The teams have been locked, and in three months' time, whoever had the best auction today will be a major contender for the Indian Premier League 2026 title. The mini-auction took place at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi amid much fanfare on Tuesday, December 16

As it was heavily talked about, Cameron Green had an auction to remember, going for INR 25.20 crore to the Kolkata Knight Riders, who will be satisfied with their replacement for Andre Russell.

KKR also made acquisitions of Rachin Ravindra Finn Allen, Matheesha Pathirana, Mustafizur Rahman and Akash Deep.

Out of the 200+ homegrown players, Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer became the most expensive uncapped players in the history.

Both of them were roped in by the Chennai Super Kings, who have done a complete overhaul depending upon the local players.

The Delhi Capitals bought the experienced David Miller and an expected buy in the form of England's Ben Duckett, who is known for his aggressiveness from the start, much like Jake Fraser-McGurk.

Delhi surprised everyone again when they bought Prithvi Shaw on his base price of 75 Lakh right at the end of the mini auction in Abu Dhabi.

Mumbai, Gujarat and Punjab probably had their most inactive auction ever, buying only 5 and 4 players respectively.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad landed English all rounder Liam Livingstone, who had to wait for a bidder until the final accelerated rounds. Rajasthan Royals focussed on all local talents, getting a total of 9 players including homeboy Ravi Bishnoi.

And lastly, the reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru brought in another IPL winner Venkatesh Iyer for 7 crore after what was a serious tussle against Iyer's former franchise KKR.
