Auqib Dar - J&K all-rounder is going to Delhi Capitals for 28 times for his base price of INR 30 lakh, that is INR 8.40 crore.

After bagging Cameron Green's services for a record $2.76mn, Kolkata Knight Riders also bagged Matheesha Pathirana for $1.9mn at the auction table, having the best auction thus far.

The TATA IPL 2026 auction has been exciting thus far, with Cameron Green's record bid breaking the overseas record; however, a list of marquee T20 players have gone unsold thus far. Check out -

• Jonny Bairstow
• Rahmanullah Gurbaz
• Liam Livingstone
• Rachin Ravindra
• Devon Conway

The first Indian player in the INR 2 crore category, Venkatesh Iyer, goes to the defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for $769,153 (INR 7 crore), becoming the second most-expensive player thus far in this mini auction.

In a major shock to the Indian cricket fans, two domestic giants, Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan, failed to attract any bids as both went unsold in the first round.

Cameron Green has become the most-expensive overseas player in IPL history, going for $2.76mn (INR 25.20 crore) to the former three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders.

All-rounder Venkatesh Iyer is among the two Indians in the highest base price category (INR 2 crore base price) and among the early draws in the mini auction. It remains to be seen if he returns to the team he helped lift its third title just a season ago, or finds a new home in this cash-rich league. KKR, however, is likely to chase him at the auction table. 

• Kolkata Knight Riders - Rs 64.3 crore (13 spots to fill)
• Chennai Super Kings - Rs 43.4 crore (9)
• Sunrisers Hyderabad - Rs 25.5 crore (10)
• Lucknow Super Giants - Rs 22.95 crore (6)
• Delhi Capitals - Rs 21.8 crore (8)
• Royal Challengers Bengaluru - Rs 16.4 crore (8)
• Rajasthan Royals - Rs 16.05 crore (9)
• Gujarat Titans - Rs 12.9 crore (5)
• Punjab Kings - Rs 11.5 crore (4)
• Mumbai Indians - Rs 2.75 crore (5)

The TATA IPL 2026 mini auction will get underway at 2:30 PM IST. 

A total of 369 players are registered to go under the hammer in Abu Dhabi, with only 77 slots available to be filled.
