The IPL 2026 auction has proved to be unpredictable, with Cameron Green becoming the most expensive foreign player in auction history, while on the other hand, many big-name stars have remained unsold. Apart from Indian batsman Prithvi Shaw, many international stars have also gone unsold in the auction. Australia’s legendary player Steve Smith has also not found any buyer, while no one has bought Jonny Bairstow either.
Many famous Indian players were also included in the list of players who remained unsold. No one bought all-rounder Vijay Shankar, while no one bought spin bowler Karn Sharma, who was a part of the four-time IPL winning team.

The most surprising name in the list of unsold players is that of Liam Livingstone of England, because he is a big international star and many teams needed an all-rounder. Despite this, no team has bid on him. Livingstone had set his base price at Rs 2 crore.
On the other hand, the names of Sarfaraz Khan and Prithvi Shaw were present in the set first, yet they could not find any buyer. The base price of both the Indian batsmen was Rs 75 lakh. Devon Conway and England’s legendary batsman Jonny Bairstow also did not find any buyer.
