নিলামে এই ৬ তারকা জন্য টাকার ঝুলি নিয়ে বসবে সব ফ্র্যাঞ্চাইজি! তালিকায় দুই KKR প্রাক্তনী

According to multiple media reports, six players are expected to attract the highest spending from IPL franchises. This list includes two former stars of Kolkata Knight Riders.

1. Cameron Green (Australia)
The all-rounder, dropped by Royal Challengers Bangalore, is likely to see intense bidding in the 2026 auction. Due to his batting and bowling skills, teams like Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings, and Punjab Kings could spend around ₹15 crore to secure him.

2. Matheesha Pathirana (Sri Lanka)
This 22-year-old pacer has been a significant influence for Sri Lanka. After being released by Chennai Super Kings, IPL teams may compete heavily to acquire him. Experts predict his price could go over ₹15 crore.

3. Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka)
The spin all-rounder, left out of the retention list, is expected to attract bids from almost all major IPL teams. Kolkata Knight Riders could also be in the running to sign him.

4. Ravi Bishnoi (India)
The 25-year-old star spinner, released by Lucknow Super Giants, is highly sought after due to his exceptional bowling abilities. However, Lucknow will not retain him.

5. Shreyas Iyer (India)
The batsman, dropped from Kolkata Knight Riders’ retention list, was valued at ₹23.75 crore. Due to poor performance, he no longer has a place in KKR. Nevertheless, IPL teams could spend a hefty amount to buy him in the auction. If KKR re-signs him at the last moment, it would be a huge surprise.

6. Andre Russell (Caribbean)
After 11 years, this finisher has been released by KKR. While Kolkata is not looking to retain him, teams like Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Punjab Kings could bid big for him in the auction.

The IPL 2026 auction promises a real cash shower for these six cricketers, as franchises strategically bid to strengthen their squads. For cricket fans, this auction is set to usher in a thrilling new chapter.
