IPL 2026: 5 Uncapped Stars Could Be Most Expensive Buys

IPL 2026: 5 Uncapped Stars Could Be Most Expensive Buys

With IPL 2026 preparations already underway, all franchises are gearing up to release their retention lists by November 15. While marquee players usually grab the headlines, this year the spotlight is on uncapped stars who delivered match-winning performances in IPL 2025. These young talents are expected to be in high demand as teams aim to bolster their squads. Here are five uncapped Indian players likely to attract big bids: 1. Digvesh Rathi (Lucknow Super Giants) Young spinner Digvesh Rathi impressed everyone with his debut season for Lucknow Super Giants, claiming 14 wickets in 13 matches. His tight bowling in the middle overs and ability to control the run flow make him a crucial asset. LSG is expected to retain Digvesh to maintain strength in their spin department. 2. Ashutosh Sharma (Delhi Capitals) Delhi Capitals’ young finishing sensation, Ashutosh Sharma, turned heads during IPL 2025. His remarkable innings against Lucknow Super Giants helped seal a crucial victory. With 204 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 160.63, Ashutosh has established himself as a dependable middle-order asset. Delhi is expected to retain him to keep their batting lineup strong. 3. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (Rajasthan Royals) The 14-year-old prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi quickly became a fan favorite last season. Bought by Rajasthan Royals for ₹1.10 crore, he justified every rupee with 252 runs in 7 matches, including a blazing century off just 35 balls against Gujarat. RR is unlikely to let this young talent slip from their grasp. 4. Shashank Singh (Punjab Kings) Shashank Singh has proven to be a consistent performer for Punjab Kings over the past two seasons. IPL 2025 saw him score 350 runs with three half-centuries, showcasing both his clean hitting and all-round abilities. Previously retained for ₹5.50 crore, Shashank remains a key player Punjab will want to hold on to. 5. Priyansh Arya (Punjab Kings) Priyansh Arya made a sensational debut, scoring 475 runs in his very first IPL season. His steady and reliable batting has already made him a vital part of Punjab Kings’ top order. Given his impressive start, retaining Priyansh is a high priority for the franchise. These uncapped stars proved that they can single-handedly change games, and IPL franchises are unlikely to let such game-changers go easily in 2026.

‘Technically, he is...’: Pakistan star’s fiery remark on IND vs PAK rivalry will irk Mohsin Naqvi

Wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan's endorsement of Suryakumar Yadav's view on the diminished India-Pakistan rivalry could jeopardize his uncertain international career. Khan's comments, made on a podcast, align with Yadav's assertion that lopsided results have eroded the rivalry's edge. This statement may further hinder his chances of returning to the Pakistan squad.

Michael Burry, Predictor Of 2008 Housing Crisis, Targets AI With $1.1 Billion Bet Against Nvidia And Palantir

Michael Burry, the contrarian investor famed for anticipating the 2008 US housing market collapse, has turned his attention to what he believes is the next major bubble, which according to him, is artificial intelligence. His fund, Scion Asset Management, has revealed bearish positions on Nvidia Corp as well as Palantir Technologies, two of the leading stocks in the AI rally that has propelled US equities to record highs. $1.1 Billion Short Against AI Leaders According to Scion’s latest 13F filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Burry bought put options on 5 million shares of Palantir and 1 million shares of Nvidia, with a combined notional value of about $1.1 billion. Put options generally increase in value when share prices decline. The disclosure, made public on Tuesday (US time), rattled markets. Nvidia’s stock fell nearly 4 per cent, while Palantir plunged over 8 per cent, even after the latter had raised its full-year earnings guidance and reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results, according to Investopedia. AI Boom Faces Burry’s Scepticism Nvidia, which recently hit a $5 trillion market capitalisation, has been the face of the global AI surge. Palantir, meanwhile, has surged 175 per cent in 2025 and trades at over 80 times forward price-to-sales, making it one of the most expensive stocks on the S&P 500. Burry’s decision to short these stocks near their peaks echoes his timing during the subprime mortgage crisis - the trade that inspired The Big Short. ‘Sometimes, We See Bubbles’ Last week, Burry appeared to hint at his views on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), sharing an image of actor Christian Bale portraying him in The Big Short with the caption, “Sometimes, we see bubbles.” He later posted charts showing slowing cloud growth at Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft, suggesting that AI-driven spending may be unsustainable - drawing parallels to the excesses of the dot-com era. After news of his filing broke, Burry joked, “Fake news! I am not 5’6” and not that there’s anything wrong with that,” while also criticising “journalists reporting on 13Fs,” implying that such filings do not always reveal his complete investment strategy. Palantir CEO Responds Palantir CEO Alex Karp pushed back strongly in a CNBC interview, calling the idea of shorting Palantir and Nvidia “bats--- crazy.” “We are two of the only companies making all the money in AI,” Karp said, accusing short sellers of engaging in “market manipulation.”Despite his response, Palantir shares have lost roughly $51 billion in market value since Burry’s position became public, according to Michael Burry Stock Tracker. Global Markets React The disclosure triggered broader market volatility, with the AI selloff spilling into global equities. According to Investopedia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped 2.5 per cent, South Korea’s KOSPI fell 2.85 per cent, and Europe’s STOXX 600 declined 0.46 per cent before recovering. Bitcoin also briefly slipped below $100,000 before rebounding to $101,000. Not Burry’s First AI Short This is not Burry’s first bearish move against Nvidia. Earlier in the year, Scion had liquidated most of its equity portfolio while buying puts on Nvidia and several Chinese tech stocks - a trade that paid off briefly when Nvidia fell 20 per cent in the first quarter before rebounding. At the time, Scion noted that the puts could “serve to hedge long positions,” though such clarification was absent from the latest filing, leaving investors uncertain whether this represents a pure short or a strategic hedge.

Will MS Dhoni Play In IPL 2026? Chennai Super Kings CEO Speaks Out

As soon as this year's IPL concluded, speculation swirled around whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni would return for the next season. Over the past months, whenever asked, MS Dhoni had remained non-committal, requesting more time before announcing his future plans. Now, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) owner Kasi Viswanathan has addressed the rumors, offering clarity about Dhoni’s participation in IPL 2026. CSK Owner Puts Retirement Rumors to Rest The disappointing IPL 2025 season, in which CSK finished last in 10th place, had fueled speculation about Dhoni retiring from the league. However, Viswanathan has decisively confirmed that Dhoni will definitely play in IPL 2026. In a video shared by the Provoke Lifestyle YouTube channel, a young fan asked CSK CEO if Dhoni was considering retirement. Viswanathan responded, “Dhoni won’t retire. I’ll ask him about that and then let you know.” Commenting on CSK’s prospects for the next season, he added, “We’re developing a strategy to win, but we don’t know if we’ll win.” A Tough Season for CSK and Dhoni IPL 2025 was a difficult campaign for both Dhoni and the team. While the Royal Challengers Bangalore claimed their first IPL title, CSK struggled throughout the season, finishing at the bottom of the points table. MS Dhoni, who has been the cornerstone of the franchise for years, managed 196 runs in 13 innings across 14 matches, with an average of 24.50. His highest score for the season was an unbeaten 30. Despite the setbacks, CSK’s leadership remains confident that with a renewed strategy and Dhoni back at the helm, the team can bounce back in IPL 2026. CSK in IPL 2025 The 2025 IPL season proved to be the worst in Chennai Super Kings’ history, as the team ended at the bottom of the table in 10th place. For the first time ever, CSK became the earliest team to be knocked out of playoff contention, marking a disappointing campaign for the franchise.

'Never Seen Men So Scared': Trump Recounts Meet With Xi, Jokes He Wants Cabinet To Show Same Discipline

'Never Seen Men So Scared': Trump Recounts Meet With Xi, Jokes He Wants Cabinet To Show Same Discipline

During a breakfast meeting with Republican senators at the White House on Wednesday, President Donald Trump shared an animated account of his recent talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, mixing light humor with remarks on diplomacy. Recounting the encounter, Trump described how six officials stood on either side of Xi, “at attention” with their hands clasped behind their backs and chins lifted. When Trump attempted to engage one of them in conversation, he said Xi prevented the man from replying. “I’ve never seen men so scared in my life,” Trump remarked, drawing laughter from lawmakers, as per a report on NDTV. The president joked that he wished his own Cabinet displayed the same level of obedience. Turning to Vice President JD Vance, Trump teased, “JD doesn't behave that way, he butts into conversations. I want to have that for at least a couple of days.” Vance, playing along, sat upright — prompting another round of laughter from attendees, as per a report on Wion. Beyond the light moments, Trump discussed broader takeaways from the U.S.–China summit. He characterised Xi as a “tough and smart man” and reiterated both leaders’ shared interest in maintaining a stable relationship. Xi, according to Trump, emphasised the need to avoid a “vicious cycle of retaliation or revenge” and urged both sides to act as “partners and friends.” Chinese state media later quoted Xi as saying that Beijing’s long-term development goals were compatible with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” vision, describing their nations as co-pilots steering the “giant ship of China-U.S. relations.” While Trump acknowledged enduring trade and security tensions, he expressed optimism about keeping dialogue open, signaling that both governments are seeking a reset after years of strained ties.
