The highly-anticipated IPL auction for the 2026 season is currently taking place in Abu Dhabi. As many as 369 players are going under the hammer for 77 vacant slots as all 10 franchises look to fine-tune their squads for the one final time before the league's 19th edition.

As expected, Australian all-rounder Cameron Green triggered a fierce bidding war in the first set, featuring marquee names.

Green, who entered the auction with a base price of INR 2 crore, fetched more than 12 times amount as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) outbid Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to secure his services for a whopping INR 25.20 crore.

India batters Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan also hogged the headlines in the first set for going unsold. The duo entered the auction with a base price of 75 lakh, but failed to attract a bidder.

South African batter David Miller, who was released by Gujarat Titans last month, was signed by Delhi Capitals for his base price of INR 2 crore.
