IPL 2026 Auction: Prashant Veer And Kartik Sharma Become Highest-paid Uncapped Players
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Young stars Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma became the highest-priced uncapped players in Indian Premier League (IPL) history as Chennai Super Kings went all out for young Indian talent at the mini auction for the 2026 edition at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
CSK paid a staggering Rs 14.20 crore each for the duo, both coming in at a base price of Rs 30 lakh, underlining the franchise’s aggressive shift towards investing in emerging players.
Uttar Pradesh all-rounder Prashant Veer’s price soared 47.3 times his base value after CSK fought off early interest from Rajasthan Royals and a late, intense challenge from Sunrisers Hyderabad to secure the 20-year-old left-arm spinner and middle-order batter.
