Prashant Veer was roped in by CSK at INR 14.2 crore at the IPL 2026 auction.
In what has been the latest development, as per reports in Cricbuzz, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are planning to release Prashant Veer ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2027 auction. The franchise is considering the move to free up funds.
Prashant Veer was roped in by CSK at INR 14.2 crore at the IPL 2026 auction, making him the joint-most expensive uncapped player in the league. However, his performances were not up to the mark, and CSK didn’t use him much with the ball.
Prashant Veer featured in six games for CSK and slammed 90 runs in five innings and failed to take a single wicket. His highest score came against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), when he slammed 43 runs to put his team in a good position.

The reports in Cricbuzz also suggest that CSK are not keen to completely move on from Prashant Veer. The franchise may attempt to buy him back at a lower price, reflecting that they still trust the young Uttar Pradesh all-rounder.
CSK currently have Rs 2.4 crore left in their purse. After the annual increment of Rs 5 crore, their available purse will rise to Rs 7.4 crore. If they release Prashant Veer, then their purse will go over 20 crore, which will be a good amount for them to buy some quality players.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given the deadline of November 15 to announce their retention and releases ahead of the mini-auction in Goa. The auction will take place on December 16 and will be the last one of the ongoing cycle.
CSK will be under the spotlight going into the auction, especially after the last few poor seasons. They pressed the reset button for the coaching staff and named Zaheer Khan as the new head coach along with Albie Morkel as assistant coach and Mohit Sharma as bowling coach.
