IPL 2026 Mini Auction Live: RCB Auction Strategy

IPL 2026 Mini Auction Live: What Can We Expect From MI?
Mumbai Indians is heading into the auction with the lowest budget of any IPL team at just Rs 2.75 crore. They will be likely sitting ducks for the majority of the auction.

Chennai Super Kings are heading into this auction with the second biggest purse, only behind KKR.

Expect CSK to go after Cameron Green as well as Ravi Bishnoi in this auction while Matheesa Pathirana's return has not been ruled out.

IPL 2026 Mini Auction Live: KKR In Focus
With a purse of Rs 64.3 crore, Kolkata Knight Riders will effectively control the auction and it will be interesting to see whether Abhishek Nayar and co. go after Cameron Green.
Having released Andre Russell, KKR desperately needs a star all-rounder in the team. But they also need a long-term captain, a reliable wicketkeeper and a fast bowler.
It won't be surprising to see KKR going after Green, Matheesa Pathirana and Jamie Smith while the team may also look to bring back Venkatesh Iyer.
