Chennai Super Kings’ handling of Prashant Veer in IPL 2026 is raising eyebrows as they paid a whopping ₹14.2 crore for him, expecting a left-arm spin-bowling all-rounder. However, in his two matches so far, he has not bowled a single over, raising questions about his underutilization. Despite being bought for his dual skills, CSK has treated him like a specialist batter, leading to confusion and wastage of resources. The team’s reluctance to use Veer’s bowling has not only raised tactical concerns but also highlighted the financial implications of his underuse. With the franchise’s unclear strategy in utilizing Veer’s talents, they risk wasting a significant investment and compromising team balance. Ultimately, CSK’s handling of Veer reflects a lack of strategic clarity and raises doubts about their decision-making process in the IPL.
