Australian all-rounder Cameron Green was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹25.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction, but will only pocket ₹18 crore.
Cameron Green is expected to be one of the marquee names, particularly after the Australian all-rounder confirmed his availability to bowl despite being listed as a batter in the opening set.
