Venkatesh Iyer is expected to be a major target in the IPL 2026 auction. Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) could all bid for the left-hander. With CSK needing top-order depth, KKR holding the biggest purse, and RCB seeking stability at number three, Iyer's experience makes him a valuable option.
