Chennai Super Kings made headlines by splurging on two uncapped cricketers, Prashant Veer and Kartik Sharma, in the IPL 2026 mini auction. The left-arm spinner Prashant Veer was bought for a whopping ₹14.2 crore, making him one of the highest-paid uncapped players in IPL history. Veer expressed his excitement about joining a team with five IPL titles and the legendary MS Dhoni. He shared his eagerness to learn from Dhoni and improve his game. Veer showcased good form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Uttar Pradesh, scoring 112 runs in six innings and taking nine wickets in seven games. Apart from Veer and Sharma, CSK also acquired Akeal Hosein for ₹2 crore. The most expensive buy in the auction was Cameron Green, purchased by KKR for ₹25.2 crore, becoming the priciest overseas player in IPL history.
