Top 5 players making their IPL debut in 2026
In the past, there have been many players who have had an outstanding debut campaign. These include the likes of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for Rajasthan Royals in 2025.
3. Prashant Veer - Chennai Super Kings
Prashant Veer will feature in his first Indian Premier League (IPL) season with a huge burden of expectations. Due to a massive bidding war between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the 20-year-old was signed by the latter for a whopping INR 14.20 crore.
Veer, however, comes in with a lot of pedigree. Announcing himself in the Uttar Pradesh Premier League, the all-rounder played seven games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for his state, taking nine wickets at an economy of 6.76. He is also decent with the bat and can score at a strike rate of near 170.
With Ravindra Jadeja traded to the Rajasthan Royals, Veer has a chance to establish himself in the great all-rounder’s shoes in his debut campaign.
