IPL 2026: Cameron Green's Rs 25.2 Cr Bid, But He'll Get Only Rs 18 Cr!

  • KKR bought Cameron Green for Rs 25.20 crore at the IPL 2026 mini-auction, making him the third most expensive buy ever.
  • Despite the high bid, Green will only receive Rs 18 crore due to a specific IPL rule for mini-auctions.
  • The rule caps overseas player salaries at the lower of the highest big auction price (Rs 27 crore for Pant) or the biggest retention slab (Rs 18 crore).
  • Since Rs 18 crore is the lower figure, Green's salary is capped at this amount.
  • The remaining Rs 7 crore from KKR's bid will go to the BCCI for player welfare.

Why It Matters: KKR's Rs 25.2 Cr bid for Cameron Green is capped at Rs 18 Cr due to IPL rules.
