Kartik Sharma was roped in by CSK for a whopping INR 14.20 crore at the IPL 2026 mini-auction. The wicketkeeper-batter from Rajasthan had a slow start to the campaign, but his performances got better as the season progressed.

The wicketkeeper-batter finished with 295 runs in 11 innings at an average of 32.78 and a strike rate of 136.58. He looks like a solid batter who plays spin really well. The 20-year-old could be a long-time servant for the Chennai-based franchise, as he is the youngest player among the three on this list.
