Ex-India Star Tells CSK To Take Bold Call Over Rs 14.20 Crore All-Rounder For IPL 2027: "One More Season"
NDTV ·
Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan gave his verdict on Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) dilemma over all-rounder Prashant Veer, ahead of the IPL 2027 auction.
We are now in the final stages of the Indian Premier League (IPL) retention and trade window, ahead of the deadline on November 17 and the IPL 2027 mini-auction on December 16. Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) recently grabbed headlines by conducting a four-player trade with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), acquiring all-rounders Liam Livingstone and Jack Edwards for pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Nathan Ellis. Former India cricketer Irfan Pathan has urged CSK to take another bold call in their retentions.
In a video by Cricinfo, Irfan Pathan stated that he would choose to retain 20-year-old all-rounder Prashant Veer, who was bought by CSK for Rs 14.20 crore last year.
Prashant Veer was one of two players for whom CSK shelled out Rs 14.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction, the other being wicket-keeper batter Kartik Sharma. Kartik impressed in the latter stages of IPL 2026 with a couple of half-centuries, and is likely to be retained.
