The IPL 2026 auction delivered several fascinating takeaways, with spending patterns clearly highlighting a growing trust in domestic talent. While Australia’s Cameron Green grabbed headlines as the most expensive buy at ₹25.20 crore, the real story belonged to India’s uncapped players. Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma scripted history by becoming the joint-most expensive uncapped Indians, earning ₹14.20 crore each after Chennai Super Kings showed strong faith in their potential. Overall, the 10 franchises spent a combined ₹215.45 crore to secure 77 players, including 29 overseas recruits, underlining the league’s expanding global appeal.
