Top 5 all-rounders who can change IPL 2026

Venkatesh Iyer

Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer for INR 7 crore. After spending his entire IPL career with Kolkata Knight Riders, the 30-year-old will walk into RCB colours for the first time. His abilities allow him to slot in anywhere from the top to the middle order, giving RCB much-needed flexibility. He is also a good player of spin and maintains a healthy strike rate of over 137 in the IPL.

Iyer’s medium pace gives a handy bowling option, making him a valuable pick. He was recently named the skipper of Madhya Pradesh for the Vijay Hazare Trophy and will look to perform well before entering the IPL 2026.
