Top 5 uncapped Indian all-rounders to watch out for in IPL 2026 Auction ft. Prashant Veer

The IPL 2026 auction is soon approaching ahead of a new season. It is set to be held in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, December 16. While the ten franchises made their retentions and releases, they will look to fill in certain gaps, strengthen their balance and fine-tune their final squads.

The focus would likely remain on big overseas and Indian players during the IPL 2026 auction. However, the teams will have their eyes on local and domestic talent as well.

Over the past few seasons, several uncapped Indian players have gotten opportunities from various franchises. They have shown glimpses of their potential. These performers in domestic cricket would have an equally important role to play in teams finding the right balance, particularly with all-rounders in the mix.

Multiple names have done well in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) 2025-26 with both bat and ball.

That said, here are the top five uncapped Indian all-rounders to watch out for during the IPL 2026 auction.
