Speaking on the collaboration Dr. Ritu Rana, Mission Head, Healthcare, HelpAge India, says. “Access to healthcare for the elderly in India, has become an urgent need especially post the pandemic, where elders were identified as one of the most vulnerable groups. Unfortunately, affordability, distance and physical frailty often prevents poor elders especially those living in remote locations get access to even basic healthcare. Through our Mobile Healthcare Unit program, we hope to address this growing need. The generous support from Clix Capital is a welcome addition to our fleet of 168 MHUs spread across the country and will be instrumental to bridge this gap.”

The Indian Premier League 2026 mini auction is set to ignite excitement as franchises prepare for a high-stakes bidding war in Abu Dhabi. Scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM IST, the auction will see 369 players enter the pool, with 77 slots available across the league’s ten teams. With team strategies, purse sizes, and marquee players in focus, the stage is set for one of the most intriguing auctions in recent IPL history.
Cameron Green Headlines the Auction Buzz
Australian all-rounder Cameron Green leads the list of high-demand players, expected to attract significant bids. His all-around skills make him a franchise favourite, and observers watch to see if he sparks record competition.
Currently, the IPL’s highest-ever bid belongs to Rishabh Pant, who was snapped up for ₹27 crore by the Lucknow Super Giants during last year’s mega auction. Whether that benchmark will be challenged remains one of the auction’s biggest talking points.
Kolkata Knight Riders Hold the Strongest Hand
Three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) walk into the auction with the deepest pockets, boasting a purse of ₹64.30 crore and room to add 13 players to their roster. With six overseas slots still open, KKR are expected to make aggressive moves, particularly for Cameron Green and Sri Lankan pace sensation Matheesha Pathirana.
The franchise, owned by Shah Rukh Khan, appears keen on strengthening both its pace attack and middle-order firepower as it eyes another title run.
Chennai Super Kings Plot a Comeback
For Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the auction carries added significance. After finishing last in the points table for the first time in IPL history during the 2025 season, the five-time champions are looking to rebuild. With a purse of ₹43.40 crore and nine slots to fill, CSK are expected to focus on balance and long-term planning.
Reacquiring Pathirana is believed to be high on their priority list, while the franchise is also scouting for a potential successor to veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, signaling a gradual transition phase for the team.
Mid-Table Teams Ready to Strike
Several franchises enter the auction with healthy budgets and clear objectives. Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, and Lucknow Super Giants all have more than ₹20 crore at their disposal, giving them flexibility to pursue both marquee players and emerging talent.
In contrast, the Mumbai Indians, despite being five-time champions, face significant constraints with a modest purse of just ₹2.75 crore. Their strategy is expected to revolve around value picks, uncapped players, and tactical bargains rather than headline purchases.
A Defining Day for IPL 2026
As the hammer rises in Abu Dhabi, the IPL 2026 auction promises drama, surprises, and strategic masterstrokes. Beyond the big bids, this auction will shape team identities, influence playing XIs, and potentially redefine the balance of power for the upcoming season.
One thing is certain — when franchises chase glory, every bid tells a story.
