Cameron Green goes big in the auction,becomes the highest paid foreign player in history

Cameron Green has rewritten the record books by becoming the highest-paid overseas player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured the Australian all-rounder for a massive ₹25.20 crore, surpassing Mitchell Starc’s previous record. The explosive batter returns to the IPL after 2023, bringing with him power-hitting, seam bowling, and versatility across formats. However, despite the eye-catching auction figure, Green will not receive more than ₹18 crore in a single season due to IPL salary regulations, with the amount structured across the contract period. For KKR, the investment signals long-term planning, as they bank on Green’s match-winning ability to add balance and firepower to their squad in the upcoming seasons.
