Kolkata Knight Riders IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), owned by Shah Rukh Khan, the three-time IPL champions, are anticipated to be the most active team at the IPL Mini Auction 2026 in Abu Dhabi. KKR will have the largest budget, with Rs 64.3 crore, and 13 open slots, including six for overseas players.
After their 2024 IPL title win, KKR had a disappointing season, finishing eighth. Consequently, the franchise is rebuilding with a new approach and clear objectives. A key priority in the auction will be acquiring a wicketkeeper-batter who can also open the innings.
Auction Buys (New Additions)
Cameron Green, Matheesha Pathirana, Mustafizur Rahman, Tejasvi Singh, Finn Allen, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Seifert, Akash Deep, Rahul Tripathi, Kartik Tyagi, Prashant Solanki, Sarthak Ranjan, Daksh Kamra.
Retained Core Squad
Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Anukul Roy, Harshit Rana, Manish Pandey, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Rovman Powell, Sunil Narine, Umran Malik, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakaravarthy.
Released Players
Luvnith Sisodia, Quinton de Kock, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Moeen Ali, Spencer Johnson, Anrich Nortje, Chetan Sakariya.
Rachin Ravindra has signed with KKR for his base price of INR 2 crore. Meanwhile, Jamie Smith has not been sold. KKR is making strategic moves by acquiring Akash Deep for INR 1 crore.
Mustafizur Rahman has caught the eye of both the Delhi Capitals and the Chennai Super Kings due to his impressive skills as a Bangladeshi paceman. While DC decided to withdraw, KKR has joined CSK in the competition.
The Bangladesh bowler has surpassed the INR 8-crore threshold. Ultimately, KKR secured his services for INR 9.2 crore.
A starting price of Rs. 2 crore. Keep in mind, he has only played for CSK up to this point. The bidding kicks off with Delhi Capitals before LSG enters the fray. The bids rise by Rs 20 lakh each time, and the player's value quickly surpasses Rs. 5 crore.
The two teams persist in raising their paddles, pushing the price beyond Rs. 10 crore. DC takes a significant pause after LSG places the bid at Rs. 12.60 crore.
Delhi contemplates again at Rs. 15.40 crore. DC ultimately withdraws at Rs. 15.80 crore.
KKR steps in at Rs. 16 crore. Once more, KKR flexes the strength of its substantial budget. LSG exits the bidding at Rs. 18 crore.
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green is sold to KKR for Rs 30.50 crore.
The bidding war for Cameron Green has begun, with Mumbai Indians starting at 2 crore, followed by Rajasthan Royals. KKR has joined the fray, and a intense battle is underway between KKR and RR, driving the price up to 5 crore. Despite RR's limited purse of 16.05 crore, they're going all out to secure Green, putting them in a precarious position.
Ajinkya Rahane, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Anukul Roy, Harshit Rana, Manish Pandey, Ramandeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Rovman Powell, Sunil Narine, Umran Malik, Vaibhav Arora, Varun Chakravarthy.
