Chetan Sakariya stated he is not disappointed about not being selected for the IPL 2026 season, understanding his recent domestic performances were not exceptional enough. He was also dropped from Saurashtra's Vijay Hazare Trophy match due to a high average and economy rate. Sakariya has set personal goals to become Saurashtra's highest wicket-taker, aiming for a future IPL comeback. He previously played 19 IPL matches from 2021-2023 and represented India in ODIs in 2021.
