Cameron Green will no longer be seen playing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, as the Australian all-rounder has been bought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for ₹25.20 crore in the IPL 2026 mini auction, making him one of the most expensive players in IPL history.
KKR’s decision to invest heavily in Cameron Green is aimed at strengthening their middle-order batting, an area where the team lacked consistency in the previous season. Green’s ability to bat aggressively in the middle overs and finish games adds significant depth to the KKR batting lineup. Apart from his batting, Green can also contribute with the ball, providing an extra seam-bowling option, which makes him a valuable all-round package for the team.
Cameron Green emerged as a promising youngster when he made his international debut for Australia in 2020. Over the last few years, he has impressed fans and experts with his performances across formats. Green grabbed major attention in the IPL when Mumbai Indians bought him for ₹17.50 crore ahead of IPL 2023, making him the second-most expensive player at that time.
After his stint with Mumbai Indians, Green was traded to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where he continued to play the role of a batting all-rounder. Now, with KKR securing his services for a massive ₹25.20 crore in the IPL 2026 mini auction, Cameron Green’s IPL journey has reached a new high point.
