Ex-India cricketer Aakash Chopra said there is a "strong possibility" that Rajasthan wicketkeeper-batter Kartik Sharma might be the highest-paid uncapped player at the IPL 2026 auction. "He hits a lot of sixes. He can go to Kolkata...as he's a wicketkeeper-batter, and he can also come here (CSK)," Aakash added. The 19-year-old has scored 298 runs in 10 T20s so far.
