A total of 77 slots were empty before the auction.
The mini-auction for the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League is underway in Abu Dhabi. Fans can find out the full list of IPL 2026 squads here for all 10 teams.
Before the action, 350 players were shortlisted from an auction pool of 1,300+ players across countries. Most of the teams retained their core, while two teams are looking towards a major overhaul. Thus, with only 77 slots left with the 10 teams, it led to some shocking names in the unsold category.
For Cameron Green, expectedly, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), with two of the biggest purses in the auction, engaged in a bidding war. He was finally acquired by the Knight Riders for INR 25.20 crore after a base price of INR 2 crore.
