ipl 2026 The season brought incredible drama, unforgettable matches and some auction surprises. While many expensive signings proved their worth, others failed to perform on the big stage. For every match-winning performance, there was a high-priced star who couldn't justify the price tag. From key foreign players to trusted domestic veterans, many of the selections proved disappointing.
Here's a team-by-team look at the worst picks for IPL 2026:
CSK- Prashant Veer

Prashant Veer He created history when he became the joint most expensive player in the IPL 2026 auction. His services were acquired by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) for a huge sum of Rs 14.20 crore. This all-rounder from Uttar Pradesh was being considered as the successor to Ravindra Jadeja for the five-time champion team, but this season was not exactly good for him.
Prashant managed to play only six matches in IPL 2026, in which he scored 90 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 134.33, out of which he scored 43 runs in an innings. With the ball, it seemed like CSK and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad did not trust him enough as he was given just two overs in the entire season.
