Meanwhile, they retained 12 players ahead of the auction. After a disappointing campaign in the 2025 IPL where they finished eighth, KKR will be expected to make a strong recovery next year. The Ajinkya Rahane-led party managed to secure the services of Cameron Green for INR 25.20 crore. The Australian all-rounder ultimately became the most expensive player at the auction. Besides Green, KKR also made some excellent signings as they brought in Matheesha Pathirana and Finn Allen.
