The IPL auction 2026 sold players list came out on December 16, 2025 from Abu Dhabi. Cameron Green topped the player list by getting sold for ₹25.20 crore to the Kolkata Knight Riders. That’s the highest price any overseas player has ever fetched in tournament history.
Ten franchises spent a combined ₹215.45 crore buying 77 cricketers during the auction. Out of these sold players, 29 came from overseas countries across different continents. The remaining 48 were domestic Indian cricketers looking for their big break here.
Record IPL Price for Uncapped Indians
Something crazy happened that nobody expected during this IPL auction 2026 event. Two uncapped Indian players got picked for ₹14.20 crore each which is absolutely insane. Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma both fetched these record-breaking amounts from the Chennai Super Kings.
CSK clearly believes in investing heavily in young domestic talent for their future plans. The sold players list shows how much teams value potential over proven track records. These uncapped cricketers haven’t even played internationally yet but commanded such massive prices anyway.
Teams Focus on Young Talent
The IPL auction 2026 proved that franchises are betting big on emerging Indian talent. The complete list of picked cricketers includes both established stars and complete unknowns surprisingly. Teams want fresh faces who can develop into match-winners over multiple seasons gradually.
This shift towards uncapped players reflects changing strategies across all ten franchises participating currently. The auction showed that being unknown doesn’t hurt your chances if scouts believe strongly. Young Indian cricketers now have more opportunities than ever before in this league clearly.
