IPL 2026 Auction Preview: Cameron Green’s Best Fits

Cameron Green batting for RCB in IPL ahead of 2026 auction talks

Cameron Green is set to be one of the biggest names at the upcoming IPL 2026 auction. The Australian all-rounder combines clean power hitting with reliable bowling. This is a mix every franchise wants. His recent form, including a 118 off 55 balls against South Africa, has made him the center of attention again.

Return After a Year Away

Green missed the entire 2025 IPL season after back surgery for a stress fracture. He used that time to recover. Now fully fit, the cricketer looks ready for a strong return. In his previous IPL season with RCB (2024), he showed his value with 255 runs and 10 wickets.

A minor side soreness recently raised concern, but doctors have cleared Cameron. He is expected to be match-ready before the new season and will be a low-risk, high-reward signing.

Teams Likely to Bid for Green

Several franchises are expected to chase Green at the auction:

  • CSK. They need middle-order power and extra pace options;
  • RCB. The IPL 2025 champions could bring the cricketer back to strengthen balance;
  • KKR. They view him as all-rounder Andre Russell’s natural replacement;
  • MI. Might re-sign Cameron to fix their death-overs gaps;
  • RR. They seek a versatile all-rounder for flexible team balance.
