IPL Auction 2026 Live Updates: CSK bag Jadeja's replacement Prashant Veer for ₹14.2 crore – CNBC TV18

IPL 2026 Player Auction RCB, CSK, MI, KKR, SRH, DC, GT, PBKS, RR, LSG 2026 Players List, Squad LIVE Updates: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 auction is set to see 350 players go under the hammer as franchises look to plug gaps and fine-tune their squads ahead of the new season.
CSK go all guns blazing and probably secure a long-term replacement for Ravindra Jadeja.
The left-arm spinner, who is a southpaw in batting too, could be seen as a replacement for Ravindra Jadeja for CSK. He belongs to Amethi in Uttar Pradesh.
The J&K all-rounder has been making heads turn in the current domestic season, and is aptly rewarded for the same by the Capitals.
Auqib Dar of Jammu and Kashmir has triggered a bidding war between DC and SRH.
Known for his distinctive slingy action, Pathirana has been an effective IPL performer, taking 47 wickets in 32 matches for Chennai Super Kings at an economy rate of just over eight. He played a key role in CSK’s title-winning campaign in 2023, picking up 19 wickets while maintaining an economy of eight.
The focus will now primarily be on uncapped players, as teams with massive scouting networks would be keen on bagging cricketers they have spotted during the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
CSK’s first acquisition of the day is of West Indian spinner Akeal Hosein for ₹2 crore.
Bishnoi heads to RR for a formidable sum of ₹7.4 crore, whereas the likes of Theekshana and Mujeeb find no takers.
CSK went until ₹6 crore for Bishnoi, but then backed out. They need to replace both Ashwin and Jadeja in the auction. 
Ravi Bishnoi is put under the hammer now, and CSK are one of the interested parties.
Pathirana will be donning the KKR jersey next year, as the three-time champions have secured his services for ₹18 crore.
CSK have not bid even once for Pathirana, as his bidding price shoots above ₹15 crore now. 
DC and LSG fighting it out for Sri Lankan speedster Matheesha Pathirana.
RCB grab hold of Jacob Duffy to bolster their bowling unit ahead of the 2026 campaign.
Pacers to go under the hammer now, and Matt Henry of New Zealand remains unsold, and so does Akash Deep, who played for LSG last year.
There were no takers for either Jonny Bairstow or Jamie Smith in the IPL auction, despite the former having come in as a formidable replacement for MI in the playoffs of the previous season.
Finn Allen will be representing the KKR from IPL 2026 onwards.
DC solidify their top-order by taking Ben Duckett for ₹2 crore.
Quinton de Kock goes for his base price to MI for a sum of ₹1 crore.

The Madhya Pradesh all-rounder has erupted a bidding war between KKR and RCB here.
LSG strengthen their spin-bowling armoury by bagging Wandindu Hasaranga for ₹2 crore.

Atkinson’s name kicks off the all-rounders’ category in the mini-auction, but finds no takers.
Interestingly, Mumbai Indians (MI), with just ₹2.75 crore in their kitty, began the bidding for Green. RR took over from them when the five-time IPL champions backed out, and gave KKR a tough run for their money till the amount reached the ₹13 crore mark. 
KKR bag Green for ₹25.2 crore.
CSK take Green’s bidding price above ₹25 crore.
KKR take a moment to ponder upon continuing the pursuit of Green, whose bidding price is above ₹19 crore now.
