Insights
CSK rebuilt aggressively at the auction after a 10th-place 2025 finish. The headline move was Sanju Samson (`sanju_samson`) at ₹18 Cr, brought in for Ravindra Jadeja and paired with retained captain Ruturaj Gaikwad (`ruturaj_gaikwad`) at the same price. Two record uncapped buys at ₹14.2 Cr each, the 20-year-olds Prashant Veer (`prashant_veer`) and Kartik Sharma (`kartik_sharma`), point to a longer-term squad rebuild. The bowling core was overhauled around Noor Ahmad (`noor_ahmad`) at ₹10 Cr, Anshul Kamboj (`anshul_kamboj`) at ₹3.4 Cr, and Akeal Hosein (`akeal_hosein`) at ₹2 Cr. The trio currently rank #1 IPL wicket-taker, #1 pressure-bowler, and #2 economy.
