IPL 2026 Mini Auction: Team-wise Purse Details Revealed

The IPL 2026 mini auction is almost here, and the franchises are already adopting measures based on the money they have. The remaining purse will be deciding factors in the bidding war, the justification of some buying, and the clever purchasing when the teams are at the auction table.

Let's check— how each franchise is financially positioned in the IPL 2026 mini auction:

Big Spenders in the Limelight

With a staggering ₹64.3 crore purse, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are already in a dominant position to pick the best players and to very much change their squad like in the past. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with ₹43.4 crore are less rigid than KKR but still have nice room to cover the weak points and keep their star players.

Mid-Range Budgets, Tactical Buys Expected

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) has ₹25.5 crore, while Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) have ₹22.9 crore and ₹21.8 crore respectively. It is expected that these teams will concentrate on specific purchases rather than making large expenditures.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) are in the same position with ₹16.4 crore and ₹16.05 crore, which means smart backups and value picks have become priorities.

Tight Budgets, Smart Planning Needed

At the lower end, Gujarat Titans (GT) have ₹12.9 crore, Punjab Kings (PBKS) hold ₹11.5 crore, while Mumbai Indians (MI) have the smallest purse of just ₹2.75 crore, limiting their options to low-cost or replacement signings.
