He’s in great form right now which could make him the most expensive player. Green can keep the innings steady or speed it up and his medium pace bowling helps any team.
- Glenn Maxwell: He has tons of T20 experience (486 matches) and can win games. Even though IPL 2025 wasn’t his best, he can still dominate with the bat and ball. Teams might see the 2026 auction as a chance to get a player who can really change games, especially as a middle order batsman and occasional off spinner.
- Adam Zampa: He’s a leg spinner wasn’t used much in IPL 2025 because of injury and team choices, but he’s good at taking wickets which is important in T20 cricket. Many teams looking to improve their spin bowling may bid for Zampa.
- Marcus Stoinis: As a seasoned middle order batsman and seamer, he’s known for his big hitting and bowling flexibility. Stoinis gives depth to both the batting and medium pace bowling options.
- Mitchell Starc: He’s one of the most dangerous fast bowlers in the world. He’s great at taking early wickets, so he’s a valuable IPL player if he’s fit and available.
- Pat Cummins: Because he always does well and has experience as an IPL captain, Cummins is still a popular fast bowling all rounder.
- Mitchell Marsh: Known for hitting hard in the lower order and bowling useful medium pace, Marsh is great as an all rounder.
- Josh Hazlewood: As he’s known for his controlled seam bowling especially in power play and final overs, Hazlewood is a pace bowling option.
- Kane Richardson: He’s a specialist fast bowler with good variation, Richardson adds depth to the bowling attack.
- Matthew Wade: He’s a wicket-keeper batsman, Wade’s experience behind the stumps and ability to finish innings adds value.
- Tim David: Known for his fast scoring and six hitting, David has become more valuable in IPL after some big plays that changed games.
- Jason Sangha: He has an attractive profile for young batting prospects, and an IPL auction pick of his may attract teams interested in local-style flair.
- Mackenzie Harvey: Mac is another young Australian batting hopeful, known for his powerful middle-order hitting.
- Jhye Richardson: He is a pace bowler mostly perfect for the power plays, and he has mostly remained on franchises’ radar.
- Will Sutherland: Fertile in the knowledge of all-round abilities (both batting and bowling), possibly a good contributor for franchise teams.
