Mujeeb Ur Rahman IPL 2027 Stats: Wickets, Price, Team
Mujeeb Ur Rahman walked into the IPL as a 17-year-old mystery spinner and left bowlers twice his age guessing. Signed by Kings XI Punjab for the 2018 season at just 17 years and 11 days, he became the youngest player ever to debut in the IPL — a record that still stands. His Mujeeb Ur Rahman IPL stats tell the story of a rare talent: a breakthrough debut season with 14 wickets, followed by years of shrinking opportunities as franchises moved on to other overseas options.
The Afghan off-spinner has played 20 IPL matches in total, taking 20 wickets at an economy rate of 8.34. His journey has taken him from Punjab Kings to Sunrisers Hyderabad, a 2024 stint with Kolkata Knight Riders cut short by injury, and a brief 2025 return with Mumbai Indians as an injury replacement. Ahead of IPL 2027, he is without a confirmed team after going unsold at the IPL 2026 auction.
This page covers Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s complete IPL record: season-wise batting and bowling numbers, his career tables, auction price history, and everything confirmed about his IPL 2027 team and price.

Who Is Mujeeb Ur Rahman?
Mujeeb Ur Rahman Zadran was born on 28 March 2001 in Khost, Afghanistan. A right-arm off-spinner who bowls with a distinctive carrom ball, he rose through Afghanistan’s age-group ranks and played a key role in the country’s 2017 Under-19 Asia Cup triumph before breaking into the senior side as a teenager.
Internationally, he became a fixture of Afghanistan’s white-ball attacks, famously taking 5/50 against England at the 2023 ODI World Cup and 5/20 in a T20I. The IPL came calling early: Kings XI Punjab paid INR 4 crore for him at the 2018 mega auction, making the then-16-year-old one of the youngest buys in league history. He rewarded that faith with a strong debut season before injuries and changing team strategies pushed him to the fringes of the league.

Mujeeb’s team history is a story of early promise followed by stop-start opportunities. Punjab kept him for three straight seasons, but after he played only five games in 2019 and two in 2020, they released him. Sunrisers Hyderabad gave him a single game in 2021. He missed 2022 and 2023 entirely after going unsold, then signed with Kolkata Knight Riders for 2024 — but a sprain in his right phalanx ruled him out before a ball was bowled, and compatriot Allah Ghazanfar replaced him. He returned in 2025 with Mumbai Indians, this time as the replacement for the injured Ghazanfar, and played one match. Released by Mumbai ahead of the IPL 2026 mini auction, he went unsold again.

Mujeeb did not play a single IPL 2024 match. Kolkata Knight Riders bought him at his base price of INR 2 crore, but a sprain in his right phalanx sustained before the season meant he was replaced in the squad by Allah Ghazanfar. KKR went on to win the 2024 title without him.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman IPL Records and Achievements

Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers split Mujeeb’s IPL career into two very different halves. In 2018 he was one of the finds of the season: a 17-year-old mystery spinner bowling in the powerplay for Punjab, taking 14 wickets at 7.01 an over, with the carrom ball doing real damage. His economy that season was elite for a spinner, and it earned him a retention.
But from 2019 on, the wickets dried up and the economy ballooned: 3 wickets at 10.05 an over in 2019, none in two games in 2020. As Punjab rebuilt around other overseas players, Mujeeb slipped out of the XI and then out of the squad. One strong game for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2021 (2/29) hinted at what he could still do, but it was his only appearance that year. The 2024 KKR season was lost to a hand injury before it began.
His 2025 return with Mumbai Indians — one wicket in two overs against Gujarat — was a small reminder of his quality, but at 25 he now faces a league that favours spinners who turn the ball sharply or bat lower down. His global T20 record remains strong, with over 300 wickets worldwide, so another IPL auction could yet reopen the door. The raw material of his 2018 season is still there; the question is whether a franchise gives him a run of games again.
