TATA IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: The Indian Premier League (IPL) Mini Auction 2026 is taking place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on 16 December. Only 77 spots need to be filled out of a total of 369 players, including 244 Indians and 115 overseas players. Out of the 10 IPL teams, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have the biggest purse. The two franchises have a combined space for 22 from the remaining 77 spots. With a budget of Rs 25.5 crore, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) also need to fill 10 slots.
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is expected to be the most expensive purchase at the IPL Auction 2026, according to IPL analysts, and there is a significant chance he will end up at KKR or CSK.
