Prashant Veer is an uncapped Indian cricketer from Uttar Pradesh who plays as a left-handed batter and slow left-arm orthodox bowling all-rounder. He came into national spotlight after Chennai Super Kings bought him for ₹14.20 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, making him the most expensive uncapped player in IPL history. Veer is known for controlling the middle overs with the ball and providing quick lower-order runs in T20 cricket.
Prashant Veer enters the IPL 2026 cycle as one of the most discussed uncapped Indian cricketers in recent times, and for reasons that go far beyond a headline auction price.
A left-handed batter and slow left-arm orthodox spinner from Uttar Pradesh, Veer represents a very specific T20 profile that franchises chase relentlessly: a spin-bowling all-rounder who can influence games in short, decisive phases.
We are not looking at a finished product or a domestic bully inflated by one good tournament. We are looking at a player whose recent domestic trajectory, role clarity, and skill set align uncannily well with what the Chennai Super Kings have always valued.
