Former India player turned veteran commentator Aakash Chopra has said that Cameron Green could be the most expensive buy in the IPL 2026 auction as well. He added that the former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder has been in great form since his return from injury and might start bowling soon as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube Channel ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “Cameron Green, I feel he could be the most expensive player in the auction. Since he has returned from injury, his batting form is already incredible. He is not yet ready to bowl, but will start bowling at some stage. He is batting in the top order at the moment because he is not bowling. If he starts bowling and considering the batting ability he has, he could actually break the bank. People will spend a lot of money on him. That’s what I feel. So this auction could be in Cameron Green’s name.”

However, Aakash Chopra also stated that Cameron Green, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs and Tim David were all part of the Mumbai Indians squad in IPL 2023, but they are no longer part of them as well.

“The Mumbai Indians figure out everyone before time. I am going to take four names, who they had, but they let them go. So could the overseas player management have been better? They had Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Tim David and Cameron Green, and all in one year. These four players were together with them in the squad, and now not even one is there,” he said.

“The Mumbai Indians have a very rich legacy of spotting talent, but they would definitely want to change one thing. Just as they are with Indian talent, maybe they will have to exercise a bit more patience with their overseas recruits, especially the greenhorns they catch. You let them go as small stones, but they get carved over time, and then they become a crowning jewel in somebody’s crown,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
