New Delhi, March 27: The IPL 2026 is set to kick off on March 28. The opening match will feature the reigning champions, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the M. Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium. Here are five foreign players who are expected to make a significant impact this season.
Will Jacks: England all-rounder Will Jacks had an impressive run in the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2026. He scored 226 runs at a strike rate of 176 across eight matches. His bowling was equally effective, taking nine wickets. Playing for the Mumbai Indians, Jacks could be a key player with both bat and ball, potentially serving as a trump card for Hardik Pandya’s team.
Cameron Green: Australian star all-rounder Cameron Green was acquired by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for a whopping ₹25.20 crore. Green is expected to shine with both bat and ball in IPL 2026. His versatility allows him to bat in any position, making him a valuable asset for KKR in both the top and middle order. He is also likely to be impactful with his bowling.
Finn Allen: Finn Allen made headlines by scoring a century off just 33 balls in the T20 World Cup 2026. He is likely to open the innings for KKR in IPL 2026. With his recent form being exceptional, all eyes will be on Allen as he has the ability to turn the tide of any match single-handedly.
Dewald Brevis: In IPL 2025, Dewald Brevis scored 225 runs in six matches. Known for his explosive batting, he showcased his talent during the T20 World Cup 2026. Brevis also performed well in the SA20 league, amassing 676 runs. He could be a game-changer for Chennai Super Kings in the 19th season of the Indian Premier League.
Pathum Nissanka: Delhi Capitals acquired Pathum Nissanka for ₹4 crore. He had a stellar performance in the T20 World Cup 2026, scoring a century against Australia off 52 balls. If included in the playing eleven, Nissanka could leave a lasting impression this season, having scored 211 runs at a strike rate of 147 in seven matches during the World Cup.
