Ravi Bishnoi’s IPL stats trace one of the sharpest rises in the league’s history for a young Indian spinner. A self-taught leg-spinner from Jodhpur, he finished as the leading wicket-taker at the 2020 Under-19 World Cup with 17 wickets, and before that tournament had even ended, Kings XI Punjab had already bought him for INR 2 crore at the IPL auction. He repaid that faith immediately, going at just 7.37 an over across 14 matches in his debut season as a 19-year-old.
Six seasons on, Bishnoi has 83 wickets from 86 IPL matches, played for three franchises, been retained for INR 11 crore, and made a celebrated homecoming to Rajasthan Royals in 2026 with a four-wicket haul on his way to Player of the Match against Gujarat Titans. This page covers his complete Ravi Bishnoi IPL stats record: season-by-season figures, auction price history, his best bowling, career tables, and what is confirmed (and not confirmed) about his IPL 2027 team and price.

Who Is Ravi Bishnoi?
Ravi Bishnoi was born on 5 September 2000 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. His father, a headmaster at a government school, was against him playing cricket, but his mother loved the sport and watched it with him on television. After heartbreaks at the age-group level, he made his T20 debut for Rajasthan in the 2018-19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, taking four wickets in four matches at an economy of 6.07.
The 2020 Under-19 World Cup in South Africa changed everything. Bishnoi took 17 wickets to finish as the tournament’s leading bowler and helped India reach the final. He bowls fast leg-breaks, sliders and googlies rather than relying on flight and drift, a style built for T20 cricket. That success carried him into the Indian team: he made his T20I debut on 16 February 2022 against West Indies at Eden Gardens, taking 2/17 and winning Player of the Match, and his ODI debut against South Africa later that year. He has since taken 65 T20I wickets and reached No. 1 in the ICC Men’s T20I Bowler rankings in late 2023.

| 2020 | Kings XI Punjab | Bought at the auction (INR 2 crore), played 14 matches |
| 2021 | Punjab Kings | Retained (INR 2 crore), played 9 matches |
| 2022 | Lucknow Super Giants | Pre-auction draft pick (INR 4 crore), played 14 matches |

| 2026 | Rajasthan Royals | Bought at the mini auction (INR 7.2 crore), played 9 matches |
| 2027 | To be confirmed | Retention and auction announcements pending |
Bishnoi has played for three IPL franchises. Punjab Kings gave him his debut and two seasons, then chose not to keep him before the 2022 mega auction. Lucknow Super Giants made him their first draft pick of the new franchise at INR 4 crore and kept him for four seasons, including a record INR 11 crore retention ahead of 2025. After a difficult 2025, LSG released him, and his home-state franchise Rajasthan Royals bought him at the December 2025 mini auction in Abu Dhabi after a bidding war with Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowling | 14 | 10 | 2/25 | 38.72 | 8.77 | 0/0 |
The 2024 season was a dip for Bishnoi. He played all 14 league matches for Lucknow Super Giants but managed only 10 wickets at an average of 38.72, and his economy crept up to 8.77 as batters targeted his lengths. It was a worrying season, yet LSG backed him anyway: they retained him for INR 11 crore ahead of the 2025 mega auction, one of the biggest retention calls of that cycle.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL 2025 Stats

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowling | 11 | 9 | 2/32 | 40.11 | 10.84 | 0/0 |
His toughest season came in 2025. The INR 11 crore retention tag weighed heavily: Bishnoi took just 9 wickets in 11 matches at an economy of 10.84, the first season of his IPL career in which he went at more than 10 an over. Lucknow used him sparingly by the end of the season, and his release before the 2026 auction was widely expected. For a bowler who had been one of the most economical young spinners in the league, it was a sharp and public fall.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL 2026 Stats

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowling | 9 | 11 | 4/41 | 19.36 | 9.26 | 1/0 |
The move to Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson‘s side revived him, at least at first. Bishnoi took nine wickets in his first four appearances, headlined by a match-winning 4/41 against Gujarat Titans, his first four-wicket haul in the IPL and a Player of the Match award, in the spell where he also passed 200 wickets in T20 cricket. His form tapered off, though: he took only two wickets across the next four games and was dropped for the match against Punjab Kings, ending the season with 11 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 19.36 but an economy of 9.26.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL 2027 Stats
IPL 2027 statistics are not available yet because the season has not started. No IPL 2027 match has been played, so there are no 2027 figures to report for any player. This section will be updated once the season begins.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL 2027 Team and Price
Bishnoi’s current IPL contract is with Rajasthan Royals, who bought him for INR 7.2 crore at the mini auction in December 2025. Whether he stays with the Royals for 2027 is not officially confirmed: the franchise has not announced its retention list, and there has been no confirmed trade. Media speculation has linked him with a possible move, including reported interest from Delhi Capitals and rumoured swap discussions with Chennai Super Kings, but none of this is confirmed, and no confirmed reports establish his 2027 price. His IPL 2027 team and price will be settled at the IPL 2027 auction or through the retention window.

Bishnoi is a specialist bowler and a genuine tail-ender. His 45 career IPL runs include a highest score of 13, and his batting has never been a factor in his selection.

Season wickets sum to the career total: 12 + 12 + 13 + 16 + 10 + 9 + 11 = 83 wickets in 86 matches. His economy has drifted upwards every year since 2021, but 2026 brought his average back under 20 even as the economy stayed high.

Ravi Bishnoi IPL Highest Score
Ravi Bishnoi’s highest IPL score is 13, made during the 2025 season for Lucknow Super Giants. As a specialist leg-spinner who bats at the tail, he has never been expected to contribute runs, and his career batting record of 45 runs in 86 matches confirms that his value to a franchise lies entirely in his bowling.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Bishnoi’s best IPL bowling figures are 4/41, taken for Rajasthan Royals against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. Chasing 211, Gujarat were cruising at 107 when Bishnoi broke the stand by dismissing Sai Sudharsan for 73. He then removed Glenn Phillips, Washington Sundar and Rahul Tewatia to derail the chase, finished with four wickets, and was named Player of the Match. The Phillips wicket also brought up his 200th wicket in T20 cricket. Before that spell, his best had been 3/24 in 2021, and he had never taken four wickets in an IPL innings across his first six seasons.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL Batting Records
Bishnoi holds no meaningful IPL batting records. He is a specialist bowler with a career strike rate of 65.22 and no fifties, and batting records belong to a different part of the game for him.
Ravi Bishnoi IPL Auction Price History
| Season | Team | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | Kings XI Punjab | INR 2 crore | Auction (bought as uncapped player) |
| 2021 | Punjab Kings | INR 2 crore | Retention |
| 2022 | Lucknow Super Giants | INR 4 crore | New-franchise pre-auction draft |
| 2023 | Lucknow Super Giants | INR 4 crore | Retention |
| 2024 | Lucknow Super Giants | INR 4 crore | Retention |
| 2025 | Lucknow Super Giants | INR 11 crore | Retention (ahead of mega auction) |
| 2026 | Rajasthan Royals | INR 7.2 crore | Mini auction purchase (released by LSG first) |
One correction worth making: Bishnoi was not “bought” by LSG for INR 11 crore in 2025. Lucknow retained him at that price ahead of the mega auction. The INR 7.2 crore move to Rajasthan Royals was an auction purchase after LSG released him.
Ravi Bishnoi’s IPL Performance Analysis
Bishnoi’s career splits cleanly into two halves. In 2020 and 2021 at Punjab Kings, he took 24 wickets at a combined economy under 7, among the best returns for any young spinner in IPL history. His action was quick, his googly was hard to pick, and he bowled with the freedom of a teenager with nothing to lose.
The Lucknow years tell a different story. From 2022 to 2025 he took 48 wickets but at an economy above 8.5 in three of those four seasons. Batters learned to read his variations, and he never took four wickets in an innings in that stretch. The INR 11 crore retention in 2025 turned a dip into a crisis: 9 wickets at 10.84 an over was the worst economy of his career. His revival at Rajasthan in 2026 was real but incomplete: the average dropped back to 19.36 and he finally got his four-for, yet the economy stayed at 9.26 and he lost his place to teenager Yash Raj Punja late in the season. At 26, the talent is undiminished, but the trajectory needs the middle-overs stranglehold of his early years to return.
