IPL 2026: Biggest Thing Is How You Handle Pressure In The Tournament, Says Irfan Pathan
Indian Premier League: Former India allrounder Irfan Pathan has said that coping with pressure is the defining challenge for young cricketers entering the Indian Premier League (IPL), especially for those carrying hefty price tags.
IPL 2026 will see uncapped Indian players Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma be under spotlight after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) snapped them for Rs 14 crore each in last year’s auction. “The biggest thing is how you handle pressure. The IPL is a tournament where you can be a hero one day, and fade away the next.
“We’ve seen so many players who earn huge money at an auction, but then don’t perform the following season and don’t even get picked again. I would want to see how a player like Prashant Veer, who has been paid in upwards of ₹14 crore, performs under pressure when given an opportunity.
