With the IPL Auction 2026 just hours away, all eyes are on Kolkata Knight Riders’ audacious move for Cameron Green and Chennai Super Kings’ hunt for a new leader. Who will be the biggest winners and losers of the day?
With a strategic Rs 16.05 crore purse, Rajasthan Royals are laser-focused on fortifying their spin department ahead of the IPL 2026 Auction. From homegrown RCA talents like Ashok Sharma to established names like Rahul Chahar, RR’s rebuild could make or break their title hopes.
The IPL Auction 2026 is set to be a masterclass in strategic spending, with franchises like KKR and CSK leveraging massive purses to chase premium talent. At the heart of the action? A fierce battle for seam-bowling all-rounders like Cameron Green—players who offer rare balance in T20 cricket.
Hardik Pandya has etched his name in cricket history by becoming the third Indian bowler to claim 100 T20I wickets. In doing so, he’s also joined a rare global club of all-rounders with 1,000+ runs, 100+ sixes, and 100+ wickets in the format—a feat celebrated by girlfriend Mahieka Sharma with a heartfelt ‘100 Babyyyyy!’
Amid growing criticism over Shubman Gill’s recent T20I struggles, childhood friend and India teammate Abhishek Sharma has issued a passionate plea: ‘Trust me.’ Sharma’s unwavering belief in Gill’s talent and temperament could be the morale boost the opener needs ahead of the T20 World Cup.
Big news for the IPL 2026 Auction: Right To Match (RTM) cards are officially off the table. The IPL Governing Council has confirmed RTM will not be available in the upcoming mini-auction, fundamentally altering how franchises approach player retention and bidding.
