IPL 2026 Auction Preview: Cameron Green’s Best Fits

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.
