Key Highlights
- Ravi Bishnoi for LSG and Venkatesh Iyer in KKR.(PTI, IPL) Venkatesh Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi have both listed themselves at the maximum base price of INR 2 cr for the IPL 2026 mini-auction - despite underwhelming IPL 2025 returns that already forced their franchise to cut ties.
- A crowded registration listFor the upcoming mini-auction on December 16, 1,355 players have registered for just 77 available slots.
- The final auction pool will only be pruned from this long list on December 5, but one thing is already clear: the fight at the top base-price band will be brutal.
- As of now, 45 players have opted for the INR 2 cr bracket, and only two of them are Indian - Venkatesh Iyer and Ravi Bishnoi.
- They are competing for attention against overseas A-listers like Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Liam Livingstone, and Matheesha Pathirana.
