10 Uncapped players to watch out for in IPL auction 2026, Top Bidding wars CSK VS KKR

Описание: Chapter 1: The "Wishlist" Six – Uncapped Targets for 2026
Introduction
While the general auction pool is vast, these six names have been circled in red by franchise scouts. From raw pace to "Jadeja-esque" all-round utility, this specific cluster of players represents the high-value/low-cost bracket that wins IPL trophies. Here is the deep dive on Aaqib Nabi, Ashok Sharma, Kartik Sharma, Manisankar Murasingh, Prashant Veer, and Karan Lal.
1. Aaqib Nabi (Jammu & Kashmir)
Role: Right-arm Fast Bowler
The "X-Factor": Heavy ball & consistent wicket-taking
Aaqib Nabi has emerged from the J&K circuit not just as a bowler, but as a strike weapon. Unlike "floaty" medium pacers, Nabi hits the deck hard, a trait highly valued at venues like the Wankhede and Eden Gardens.
Recent Form: He finished as the second-highest wicket-taker in the 2024-25 Ranji Trophy season (44 wickets) and carried that form into white-ball cricket. His ability to move the red ball translates into a dangerous "hard length" in T20s.
Auction Buzz: He has reportedly attended trials for Mumbai Indians (MI), Delhi Capitals (DC), and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). MI, in particular, is looking for Indian pace backups, and Nabi’s profile fits their mold perfectly.
2. Ashok Sharma (Rajasthan)
Role: Right-arm Pacer (Express)
The "X-Factor": Raw Speed (145+ km/h)
Ashok Sharma is a speed merchant. In a market starved of Indian pacers who can genuinely hurry the batter, he stands out. He has previously been part of KKR and RR setups but is yet to have his breakout moment—2026 could be it.
Recent Form: He was the leading wicket-taker for Rajasthan in the SMAT group stages, consistently clocking speeds north of 140 km/h and touching 149 km/h.
Auction Buzz: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) has shown significant interest, calling him for trials. His profile (high pace, hit-the-deck) is exactly what RCB often lacks at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
3. Kartik Sharma (Rajasthan)
Role: Middle-order Batter / Finisher
The "X-Factor": Clean Striking & Range
A teammate of Ashok Sharma, Kartik is gaining a reputation as a "clean striker" of the cricket ball. He isn't just a slogger; he has shown the ability to build big innings in multi-day cricket and accelerate in T20s.
Recent Form: He has been in a rich vein of form in the Ranji and Vijay Hazare Trophies, including a notable century (100 off 139 balls) and a rapid 120. He is being touted as a "Mr. 360" prospect due to his range of shots.
Auction Buzz: Scouts from CSK and RCB have been tracking him. CSK, known for grooming technically sound batters into T20 beasts, could be his likely landing spot.
4. Manisankar Murasingh (Tripura)
(Note: Likely referred to as "Manishankar Murarji" in some queries)
Role: All-Rounder (Left-hand Bat / Right-arm Medium
The "X-Factor": Experience & Clutch Temperament
Murasingh is a veteran of the domestic circuit (32 years old) who is finally getting his due. He is a "crisis man"—capable of bowling tight overs and winning games with the bat from impossible situations.
Recent Form: He played a pivotal role in Tripura's stunning Super Over win against Karnataka in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He is a genuine all-rounder who can bat in the top 6 and bowl 4 overs.
Auction Buzz: He was a late addition to the auction list, often a sign that a specific franchise has requested his inclusion. His profile suits teams looking for a low-cost, high-utility backup all-rounder.
5. Prashant Veer (Uttar Pradesh)
Role: All-Rounder (Slow Left-arm Orthodox / Right-hand Bat)
The "X-Factor": The "Next Jadeja" Prototype
At just 20 years old, Prashant Veer is arguably the most exciting "package" on this list. A gun fielder, a tight left-arm spinner, and a lower-order hitter who can clear the ropes—he checks every box for the modern T20 player.
Recent Form: He shuttled between the U-23 tournament and SMAT, performing in both. His breakout performance was a 37 (10 balls) cameo combined with 3/20 with the ball to destroy J&K. He strikes at 160+ in T20s.Auction Buzz: He has attended trials for Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The franchise sees him as a potential long-term successor or backup to Ravindra Jadeja, given the identical skill set.
6. Karan Lal (Bengal)
Role: All-Rounder (Off-spin / Opener)
The "X-Factor": Powerplay Exploiter
Karan Lal is a rare commodity: an aggressive opener who also bowls handy off-spin. This dual utility allows a captain to play an extra specialist bowler or batter elsewhere.
Recent Form: He smashed consecutive sixes against Suyash Sharma (a quality IPL spinner) during RCB trials, proving his pedigree against top-tier bowling. He had a high strike rate in the Bengal Pro T20 League and .
