Australian all-rounder Cameron Green has become the most expensive overseas player to be sold in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), having been sold for a whopping 252 million Indian rupees in the player auction held on Tuesday.

This is the amount that Kolkata Knight Riders paid him for the 2026 edition. Kolkata had spent 247 million Indian rupees for Mitchell Starc in the 2024 player auction. Since the value of the Indian rupee and the US dollar keeps fluctuating, Starc's price can be considered higher at that time. 

Green is worth 2770 thousand dollars, while Starc was paid 2980 thousand dollars at that time. Green has become the third most expensive player in the history of the competition. Before that, Rishabh Pant was sold for 270 million and Shreyas Iyer for 267 million. Green has previously played for Mumbai Indians and defending champions Royal Challengers Bangalore. He has scored 707 runs in 29 matches of the IPL. He did not play last season due to injury. Currently, the 26-year-old Green is playing for Australia in the Ashes series against England.
