Chennai Super Kings have suffered a major setback ahead of IPL 2026 as their ₹14.20 crore signing Prashant Veer has picked up a shoulder injury.
Prashant Veer was bought by CSK for ₹14.20 crore at the IPL auction, making him one of the franchise’s biggest investments for the season.
Veer sustained the shoulder injury while playing for Uttar Pradesh in a Ranji Trophy match against Jharkhand.
Due to the injury, Prashant Veer had to leave the field and was later replaced in the match under the BCCI’s serious injury rule.
The exact extent of the injury is yet to be confirmed, but the setback has raised concerns ahead of IPL 2026.
Veer’s injury could impact CSK’s plans for IPL 2026, with the franchise now monitoring his fitness closely.
