These players remained unsold in the first set

The first name to appear in the Indian Premier League auction was Devon Conway, who was not bought by any team. His base price was 2 crores. The biggest surprise was when no team bought Prithvi Shaw even at the base price of Rs 75 lakh. David Miller became the first player to be sold in this auction, who was bought by Delhi for his base price of Rs 2 crore. Australian explosive batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk also remained unbeaten in the first set.

Prashant Veer is now ready to make a splash in the IPL, he was bought by Chennai Super Kings in the auction for a huge amount of Rs 14 crore 20 lakh. The base price of uncapped player Prashant in the auction was only Rs 30 lakh, but considering his performance in the UP T20 League, there was competition between Sunrisers Hyderabad and CSK.

Who is Prashant Veer who joined CSK?

Prashant, who joined Chennai Super Kings, was born on November 24, 2024 in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh. 20 year old Prashant is an all-rounder player. He is a left-handed batsman, who is a slow left arm orthodox bowler.

Prashant Veer made his mark while playing for Noida Super Kings in the UP T20 League. The all-rounder player also performed brilliantly in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. After the departure of Ravindra Jadeja, CSK was looking for a similar player.

Prashant Veer has scored 112 runs in 7 innings of 9 T20 matches. His strike rate was 167.16. He has taken 12 wickets in 9 T20s. In his last match played on 8 December, he scored unbeaten 40 runs against Bihar and took 1 wicket.

Before Karthik and Prashant Veer, Chennai Super Kings bought the first player in the IPL 2026 auction in the form of Akeal Hosein. CSK bought this capped foreign player at his base price (Rs 2 crore).

Everyone was speculating about Cameron Green that he would get a huge amount in the IPL 2026 auction, the same happened. Kolkata Knight Riders had the highest balance in their purse, taking advantage of which they bought the Australian batsman for Rs 25.20 crore. However, due to the new rule, Green will get only Rs 18 crore. Know where the remaining Rs 7.2 crore will go, will the franchise benefit from it?

The auction for IPL 2026 is being held in Abu Dhabi. Australian batsman Cameron Green’s name was in the first set, before him Devon Conway and Jake Fraser-McGurk were unsold. It was already predicted about Green that he would become the most expensive player of this year. Chennai Super Kings along with KKR were trying their best to buy him. CSK had reached Rs 25 crore for him, but KKR made a bid of Rs 25.20 and included him in their team.

What will happen to the money deducted from Cameron Green’s salary?

Cameron Green will get only 18 crores. Rs 7.2 crore will be deducted from his salary, however, the amount of the bid will be deducted from the purse balance of the IPL franchise. That means only Rs 25.20 crore will be deducted from KKR’s purse. This means the franchisee will not benefit from it.

Let us tell you that the remaining amount will be redirected to the player welfare programs run by BCCI. This means that Kolkata Knight Riders will pay Rs 18 crore to Green, and the remaining Rs 7.20 crore will go to BCCI.

The IPL 2026 auction will be held tomorrow in Abu Dhabi and the auction will start at 2:30 pm. Bidding will be held on a total of 350 players, which will include many big names. Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders are the two teams who will be entering the auction with the biggest purse. There is a vacancy in both of their squads, which can be filled by an Australian all-rounder.

Here we are talking about Australian all-rounder Cameron Green. Recently, Cameron Green was sold for Rs 30.50 crore in the mock auction organized by Star Sports. If this happens in the real auction tomorrow, then Green will become the most expensive player in IPL history.

Chennai Super Kings are left with Rs 43.40 crore, while Kolkata Knight Riders are left with Rs 64.30 crore. Cameron Green is such a player who can fulfill the needs of both Chennai and Kolkata, hence the bid for him can go up to Rs 30 crores.

Why does CSK want Cameron Green?

CSK has traded 2 players in the form of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran for Sanju Samson. Fast bowling all-rounder Shivam Dubey is present in the Chennai team, but he has not bowled much in his IPL career. With the departure of Jadeja and Curran, the team is in dire need of a world class all-rounder, who can bat in the middle order and also play the role of all-rounder. In such a situation, Chennai will not refrain from bidding higher on Green.

Why does KKR want Cameron Green?

After the retirement of Andre Russell, the place of a foreign all-rounder has become vacant in the KKR squad. Green can prove to be an ideal replacement for Russell. Besides, Green can also solve KKR’s batting problems by coming in to bat from number-3 to number-5. He can also play the role of a finisher like Russell.
