Top 5 players who failed to justify their price tags in IPL 2026
Teams spent massive fortunes on big-name stars, expecting them to win matches single-handedly.
3. Prashant Veer (Chennai Super Kings)
The biggest surprise of the IPL 2026 Auction was when five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) acquired the services of Prashant Veer for a whopping price of INR 14.2 Crore. The all-rounder from Uttar Pradesh entered the IPL 2026 season with massive expectations, with many terming him as Ravindra Jadeja’s replacement.
Contrary to the expectations, it turned out to be a quite disappointing season for Prashant for the Chennai-based franchise. He managed to feature in six matches for them in IPL 2026, with only scoring 90 runs with the bat with a strike rate of 134.33. Even with the ball, he only bowled 12 balls, conceding 25 runs. Despite the humongous price tag, Prashant Veer could not deliver for CSK this season.
