The upcoming IPL 2026 auction is expected to see some players receiving massive bids due to the limited slots available in each team and the abundance of money in the franchises’ pockets. International superstars like Cameron Green, Matheesa Pathirana, Ravi Bishnoi, Venkatesh Iyer, and Wanindu Hasaranga are likely to be the top attractions. Green, a talented Australian all-rounder, is expected to be the most expensive purchase after showcasing impressive T20 performances. Pathirana is seen as a leading death-bowling option, while Bishnoi could be the most expensive Indian player with his leg-spinning skills. Iyer and Hasaranga are also expected to garner significant interest for their batting and all-round abilities. Other players like Matt Henry, Pathum Nissanka, and Gerald Coetzee are also likely to attract decent bids. Additionally, Ashok Sharma from the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is a player to watch out for in the auction. Teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad are expected to be actively bidding for these players to strengthen their squads.
