He was purchased by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a whopping ₹25.20 crore and is now the most expensive overseas player in IPL history (though he will be paid ₹18 crore).

Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana was the second biggest buy of the IPL 2026 auction. He too was purchased by KKR for ₹18 crore. There was unexpected windfall for two uncapped Indian players as Chennai Super Kings (CSK) purchased Kartik Sharma and Prashant Veer for ₹14.2 crore each (a record for the most expensive uncapped player in the IPL auction).

While there was joy for some star players and a few youngsters, a number of prominent names also went unsold at the IPL 2026 auction.
