CSK’s most expensive player in IPL 2026 auction
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) bought two uncapped players for the highest price in the IPL 2026 auction. CSK bought both Karthik Sharma and Prashant Veer for the same price of Rs 14.20 crore. Apart from this, CSK has included new players like Rahul Chahar, Akeal Hosein and Matt Henry in the team.
In the year 2025, Chennai Super Kings was at the bottom in the points table. In such a situation, can including players in the team for huge sums prove beneficial for Dhoni? Although, it is true that he does not play for Chennai as a captain, but whoever is included in his team, it is said that this time Chennai will do wonders. Now only time will tell whether Dhoni’s team will be able to do wonders in UP 2026 or not.
