BCCI announces IPL 2027 mini auction for December 16 in Goa

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced that the IPL 2027 mini auction will take place on December 16, 2026, at the ITC Grand Resort in Goa.

While it is a mini auction, media reports suggest several high-profile players could break existing price records. Currently, Rishabh Pant holds the record for the most expensive player at 27 crore rupees.

Speculation surrounds several key players: Hardik Pandya may potentially leave Mumbai Indians, with experts suggesting his bid could reach between 28 and 30 crore rupees. There are also rumors that Kolkata Knight Riders might release Cameron Green, who could attract significant interest from teams like RCB or Punjab Kings. Additionally, Lucknow Super Giants player Nicholas Pooran is being discussed as a candidate to become the most expensive foreign player.
