Chennai Super Kings showed long-term vision by investing ₹14.20 crore in uncapped all-rounder Prashant Veer, signaling a clear succession plan beyond IPL 2026.
Veer mirrors Ravindra Jadeja with his left-arm spin and handy middle-order batting—exactly the profile CSK values in pressure situations.
In limited T20 exposure, Veer boasts an economy of 6.45 and a strike rate of 167+, proving his impact with both ball and bat despite his young age.
CSK has a proven track record of grooming young all-rounders under senior leadership, and Veer fits perfectly into this patient, role-defined system.
With Jadeja nearing the twilight of his IPL career, CSK’s move ensures continuity in balance, fielding excellence, and spin control in the middle overs.
Becoming the most expensive uncapped player in IPL history underlines CSK’s belief that Veer isn’t just a backup—but a future core player.
