IPL 2026: Cameron Green Set For Mini-Auction After Explosive T20I Form. Australian all-rounder Cameron Green, who missed the entire IPL 2025 season due to a lower spine injury, is set to make his return in the IPL 2026 mini-auction. His recent T20I form for Australia shows he could now be considered one of the highest bids in the IPL 2026 mini auction.
Recently, Green flaunted his match-winning abilities against South Africa in a T20I at Darwin with 35 off 13 balls (3 sixes, 4 fours). With his power-hitting skills and ability to bowl medium pace, Green is a good fit for T20. It is expected that his all-around skill set will spark a bidding war among franchises.
Green has been in red-hot form, producing terrific next innings. He has had six explosive innings recently in the shortest format. Here are his last six T20I scores: 35 (13), 32 (18), 55 (32), 11 (14), 56 (32), 51 (26)*. He made a total of 240 runs at an average of 60 and a strike rate of 177.78. These numbers clearly show why franchises are preparing with substantial bids.

Franchises in the Race for Cameron Green
According to reports, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Chennai Super Kings are in great positions to place bids for the 25-year-old. RR might release some players. KKR might have a high purse if they were to release a few players. CSK can release many players to make a better squad for IPL 2026 after a disappointing last season. An all-rounder like Green can balance the squad of these teams.
Ravichandran Ashwin predicted on his YouTube channel that players like Cameron Green will “go for a big price” in the IPL 2026 auction, which might force franchises to release even established Indian names to get the player in their squad.
Given his power-hitting, handy bowling, and match-winning abilities, Cameron Green may be the most costly signing in IPL 2026. The only question is—which franchise is going to spend the big bucks?
