The IPL 2026 auction concluded on Tuesday, with teams focusing on improving their weaknesses. This year's auction was different from prior years in that teams were initially quiet before spending substantially on Indian uncapped youngsters. CSK signed Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma for ₹14.2 crore each, making them the highest-paid uncapped players in history. Aquib Nabi Dar and Mukul Chowdhary both received a premium price, but numerous reputable and seasoned players were sold at their basic price. Cameron Green was bought by KKR for Rs. 25.20 crore, making him the highest-paid overseas player, surpassing Mitchel Starc.
