Has to be a premium fast bowler or a gun Indian wicketkeeper. With the purse going up, wouldn't be shocked if someone crosses the ₹25cr mark this year.

Rishabh Pant got a wild ₹27 crore from LSG bro! Cameron Green got ₹25.2cr from KKR too. The auction money is literally insane rn.

Cameron Green was the highest-paid player in the IPL 2026 auction. He was sold to the Kolkata Knight Riders for about ₹25.20 crore, which was the highest bid of the event and made him the most expensive player to buy.

Many innings are considered among the greatest in Test cricket history. Famous examples include Brian Lara scoring 400 not out, Ben Stokes playing an unforgettable Ashes innings at Headingley in 2019, and VVS Laxman scoring 281 against Australia in Kolkata. These innings combined pressure, skill, match impact, and mental strength. The “best” often depends on match situation, opposition quality, and how much the innings changed cricket history.

The highest-paid player in the IPL 2026 auction was Cameron Green, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹25.20 crore. This made him the most expensive player sold at the auction and the costliest overseas player in IPL auction history. However, Rishabh Pant remains one of the highest earners overall through his retention contract with Lucknow Super Giants
