The hype around the 19th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is building up as the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) recently released the schedule for the first 20 matches of the season.

Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to take on SunRisers Hyderabad in the opening encounter at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 28.

Ahead of the tournament, the 10 teams made upgrades and adjustments to their squads in the auction that was held at Abu Dhabi in December, 2025.

The auction saw 77 players go under the hammer with a total of Rs 215.15 crore collectively being spent by the franchises.

KKR broke the bank for Australian all-rounder Cameron Green with a Rs 25.2 crore bid, making him the most expensive overseas player in the history of IPL.

Meanwhile, CSK rebuilt with youngsters, splurging Rs 14.20 crore each on the uncapped duo of Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma, making them the joint most expensive uncapped players in IPL history.
