KKR Shatter IPL Record, Sign Cameron Green for Staggering ₹25.20 Crore

The Kolkata Knight Riders have made a seismic statement at the IPL 2026 mini auction, breaking the bank to sign Australian all-rounder Cameron Green for a record-shattering ₹25.20 Crore. This historic bid makes Green the most expensive overseas signing in the history of the Indian Premier League.

KKR’s aggressive pursuit saw them surpass their own previous record of ₹24.75 Crore, which they paid for fellow Australian pacer Mitchell Starc in the 2024 auction. The monumental bid underscores KKR’s intent to rebuild their squad around a premier all-rounder, filling the void left by the departure of several key players.

Green, a highly sought-after commodity due to his explosive batting and handy pace bowling, was the centerpiece of a fiercely competitive bidding war. His acquisition aligns perfectly with KKR’s strategy of securing a dynamic, long-term asset capable of influencing games with both bat and ball.

This record-breaking signing immediately reshapes the landscape of the tournament and places immense expectations on the young Australian as KKR aim to return to the pinnacle of the league.
