Profile & Biography
A left-arm spinner who can hit sixes down the order, Prashant Veer caused a stir in the IPL 2026 auction and joined Kartik Sharma as the joint-most expensive uncapped Indian player when CSK snapped him up for INR 14.2 crore.
After impressing at a CSK trial in Chennai and in the BCCI Under-23 tournament, Veer was picked by the franchise as a potential replacement for Ravindra Jadeja, who was traded to Rajasthan Royals ahead of IPL 2026.
Veer finished the UPT20 league with 320 runs at a strike rate of 155 and pitched in with eight wickets, returns rich enough to be fast-tracked into top-flight cricket.
