The excitement of the Indian Premier League 2026 has now reached its peak. This season, many Indian and foreign players are making waves for their team, but there are some players who got crores of rupees in the auction but are not able to show their game accordingly. In such a situation, let us know about five such foreign players.
When the mini auction was held for the Indian Premier League 2026, some teams played big bets on foreign players. Especially teams like KKR spent lavishly on foreign players, but when it came time for those players to prove themselves on the field, they proved to be a complete flop. In such a situation, let us know about the 5 most flopped foreign players based on the matches played so far in IPL 2026.
The biggest and first name in this list is that of Australian all-rounder Cameron Green. KKR had bought Cameron Green for its team by bidding Rs 25.20 crore in the auction, but his impact on the field for KKR has been zero so far. He is neither able to score runs in the top order nor is he able to take wickets in bowling. After such a huge amount, match-winning performance was expected from him, which has not been seen yet.
Lucknow Supergiants’ star player Nicholas Puran’s name is also in this list. Lucknow had retained Puran for an amount of Rs 21 crore, but due to change in the batting order, he has been a complete flop for his team. This season, Puran has been able to score only 42 runs in the 5 matches played so far for Lucknow.

England’s Liam Livingstone, famous for his explosive batting, also could not make an impact in IPL 2026. The condition of Livingstone, who is in the Sunrisers Hyderabad team this season, is such that he has got a chance to play in only 1 match, in which he scored 14 runs. Sunrisers have spent a huge amount of Rs 13 crore on Livingstone in the auction.
Gujarat Titans vice-captain Rashid Khan’s condition has also not been anything special this season. Rashid Khan is a retained player of Gujarat. The team bought him for a huge amount of Rs 18 crores, but if we look at his performance this season, he has been able to take only 5 wickets in bowling in four matches and has only 24 runs in his name in batting.
South Africa’s Tristan Stubbs, playing for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2026, is also not able to perform well. Stubbs plays the role of finisher for Delhi, but he has been able to score only 109 runs in 4 matches so far this season. Stubbs was retained by the Delhi Capitals team for a huge sum of Rs 10 crore.
