Cameron Green is coming back to the IPL 2026 auction after missing last season. The Australian all-rounder unfortunately sat out 2025 due to injury problems. But he’s fully fit now and entering at a ₹2 crore base price.
Why Teams Want Cameron Green Badly
Cameron Green brings everything a franchise’s dream about in one complete package. His height gives him serious advantages while batting and bowling. He smashes sixes effortlessly and bowls quick deliveries that trouble batters constantly.
The 26-year-old Australian can change games single-handedly on his good days. Franchises desperately need genuine all-rounders who contribute with bat and ball equally. Green fits that bill perfectly despite some injury concerns hanging over him.
His explosive batting potential makes him worth the risk for most franchises. But franchises must consider his inconsistent bowling performances across different formats carefully. The IPL 2026 auction will test how much the franchises value his abilities.
Let’s check which teams might target him on the IPL bidding table on December 26.
- Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR lost Andre Russell to IPL retirement after years of explosive performances. That leaves a massive gap in their middle order and death bowling. Cameron Green can do everything Russell did for Kolkata over the years.
The management knows they need someone who bowls pace and hits big. Green ticks both boxes even though his style differs completely from Russell’s. KKR has ₹64.30 crore available and might spend heavily on Green.
- Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings traded away Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran before IPL 2026. They’re hunting for a strong all-rounder to strengthen their middle order. CSK has ₹43.4 crore and could easily afford Green’s asking price.
The five-time champions had their worst season in IPL 2025. They finished last in the previous year. Now they want someone to strengthen their middle-order.
- Sunrisers Hyderabad
SRH wants an aggressive middle-order bat who bowls useful overs too. Cameron Green fits their requirements perfectly for the Orange Army’s plans. SRH holds ₹25.5 crore and might spend ₹10-15 crore on him.
SRH had a rough season last year their attacking game turned badly on them. Klaasen’s form is a big concern for the team. Now, they want someone who can back him.
