Yudhvir Singh’s IPL story began with a debut most bowlers can only dream of. Handed the new ball by KL Rahul for Lucknow Super Giants against Punjab Kings at Lucknow on 15 April 2023, the Jammu pacer struck with his third delivery in the tournament and finished with 2 for 19, the best figures on his side that night. Since then, the Yudhvir Singh IPL stats sheet has grown slowly: nine matches and eight wickets across three seasons with Lucknow and Rajasthan Royals, with long spells spent waiting on the bench. Yet franchises keep backing him. Rajasthan Royals bought him at the 2025 mega auction and retained him for 2026, convinced by his domestic returns for Jammu and Kashmir, which include a match-winning seven-wicket haul against Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy. This page brings together his verified IPL numbers: matches, wickets, economy, auction prices, teams, and everything confirmed about IPL 2027.

Who Is Yudhvir Singh?
Yudhvir Singh Charak was born on 13 September 1997 in Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir. A tall right-arm fast-medium bowler who bats right-handed, he began his domestic career with Hyderabad, making his T20 debut in November 2019 and his first-class debut a month later. In 2021 he switched back to his home state, representing Jammu and Kashmir, and a strong showing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy that year put him on the IPL radar.
Mumbai Indians first signed him as a net bowler for their 2020 UAE campaign, then bought him at the 2021 auction, making him only the second cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to be picked up in the IPL. He never played a game for Mumbai, but training alongside bowlers of that calibre sharpened his skills. After two quiet years, Lucknow Super Giants gave him his debut in 2023, and Rajasthan Royals have kept him on their books since the 2025 mega auction. Away from the IPL, his red-ball stock has risen sharply: he was a net bowler for India ahead of the home series against Bangladesh in 2024 and later earned an India A call-up.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Mumbai Indians | Bought at auction; squad member, no matches played |
| 2022 | – | Not part of any IPL squad |
| 2023 | Lucknow Super Giants | Bought at auction for Rs 20 lakh; 3 matches |
| 2024 | Lucknow Super Giants | Retained at Rs 20 lakh; 2 matches |
| 2025 | Rajasthan Royals | Bought at mega auction for Rs 35 lakh; 4 matches |
| 2026 | Rajasthan Royals | Retained at Rs 35 lakh; no matches played |
| 2027 | – | Not officially confirmed |
His franchise journey says a lot about how teams view him. Mumbai spotted the raw pace early but had no room in a settled attack. Lucknow gave him his break in 2023 and kept faith for another year. Then Rajasthan, rebuilding their pace stocks at the 2025 mega auction, paid Rs 35 lakh for him and retained him for 2026 even though he did not make the playing eleven once that season. At Lucknow he had shared a dressing room with established names such as Nicholas Pooran and Ravi Bishnoi and learned the ropes alongside fellow young quicks like Mohsin Khan. For a bowler with only nine IPL appearances in four years, Rajasthan’s faith is a striking vote of confidence, and it rests almost entirely on what he has done for Jammu and Kashmir in domestic cricket.
Yudhvir Singh IPL 2023 Stats
| Matches | Overs | Runs Conceded | Wickets | Average | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 8.0 | 70 | 3 | 23.33 | 8.75 |
His debut season remains the brightest chapter of his IPL career so far. Replacing the injured Jaydev Unadkat, Yudhvir opened the bowling against Punjab Kings at the Ekana Stadium and removed Atharva Taide with his third ball, a leading edge snaffled at third man, before castling the in-form Prabhsimran Singh in his next over. His 3-0-19-2 made him Lucknow’s best bowler in a game they went on to lose. He played two more games that season, finishing with three wickets at an economy of 8.75, and scored a single run with the bat.
Yudhvir Singh IPL 2024 Stats
| Matches | Overs | Runs Conceded | Wickets | Average | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 4.0 | 52 | 1 | 52.00 | 13.00 |
Retained by Lucknow at Rs 20 lakh, Yudhvir found chances even harder to come by in 2024. He played only two matches and bowled four overs, taking a single wicket while conceding 52 runs. With the bat he had his most productive IPL season in relative terms, scoring 21 runs including his career-best 14 at a strike rate of 150. It was a holding year: still on the franchise’s radar, but stuck behind a settled pace attack.
Yudhvir Singh IPL 2025 Stats
| Matches | Overs | Runs Conceded | Wickets | Average | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 11.0 | 131 | 4 | 32.75 | 11.91 |
The move to Rajasthan Royals, who bought him for Rs 35 lakh at the mega auction, brought his busiest IPL season: four matches, his highest single-season tally. He made his Royals debut stepping in for Tushar Deshpande against Gujarat Titans, under a captaincy group led by Sanju Samson. The returns were mixed. Four wickets in eleven overs showed he could still take wickets at this level, but an economy rate of 11.91 underlined the control issues that have followed him, particularly when asked to bowl at the death.
Yudhvir Singh IPL 2026 Stats
Rajasthan retained Yudhvir for IPL 2026 at Rs 35 lakh, but he did not play a single match, so his career figures stayed exactly where they were: nine matches and eight wickets. It was a frustrating season in IPL terms, yet his domestic winter told a different story. He took 11 wickets in seven matches in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2025/26 and then claimed 21 wickets in seven Ranji Trophy matches as Jammu and Kashmir won their maiden first-class title, form that earned him a call-up to the India A setup.
Yudhvir Singh IPL 2027 Stats
IPL 2027 statistics are not available yet because the season has not started. As of October 2026, his team and price for the 2027 season are not officially confirmed. His last confirmed status was with Rajasthan Royals at Rs 35 lakh, retained for the 2026 season. Whether Rajasthan retain him again or he goes back into the auction pool will be decided closer to the IPL 2027 auction, and this page will be updated when the franchise makes it official.
Yudhvir Singh IPL 2027 Team and Price
Neither his IPL 2027 team nor his price has been officially confirmed. The retention and auction process for the 2027 season was still to be completed at the time of writing. His most recent confirmed deal was his retention by Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2026 at Rs 35 lakh, following his Rs 35 lakh purchase at the 2025 mega auction. Readers tracking the IPL 2027 retention rules and the IPL 2027 auction date should watch for the official retained-players announcement, which will settle his status.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Career Batting Stats
| Matches | Innings | Runs | Highest Score | Average | Strike Rate | 50s | 100s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 4 | 22 | 14 | 5.50 | 137.50 | 0 | 0 |
Batting is a secondary skill for Yudhvir, and his numbers reflect that: 22 runs from four innings, with a highest score of 14 made for Lucknow in 2024. He has never reached a fifty in the IPL. His strike rate of 137.50 hints at some lower-order hitting ability, glimpsed in that brisk 2024 cameo, but he is picked to take wickets, not to score runs.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Career Bowling Stats
| Matches | Innings | Overs | Runs Conceded | Wickets | Best Bowling | Average | Economy | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 9 | 23.0 | 253 | 8 | 3/47 | 31.63 | 11.00 | 17.25 |
Eight wickets from nine matches at an average of 31.63 tell the story of a bowler still finding his feet at the highest level. The strike rate of 17.25 is respectable and suggests genuine wicket-taking threat, but the economy rate of 11.00 is the number that needs to come down. In a format that punishes loose overs, his control, especially outside the powerplay, remains the difference between a squad place and a regular starting spot.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Stats by Year
| Season | Team | Mat | Inns | Runs | HS | Avg | SR | 50s | 100s | Wkts | Econ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | LSG | 3 | – | 1 | 1* | – | – | 0 | 0 | 3 | 8.75 |
| 2024 | LSG | 2 | – | 21 | 14 | – | – | 0 | 0 | 1 | 13.00 |

| 2026 | RR | 0 | – | – | – | – | – | 0 | 0 | 0 | – |
The year-by-year view shows a career of fits and starts. His debut season in 2023 produced his best economy rate (8.75) and his most eye-catching spell. The 2024 season offered little with the ball, while 2025 brought a career-high four matches and four wickets but also his most expensive bowling. He did not play in 2026. Per-season batting averages and innings counts are not reliably verifiable from available sources and are left blank rather than estimated.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Highest Score
Yudhvir Singh’s highest IPL score is 14, made for Lucknow Super Giants during the 2024 season. It came in his most productive batting season in the league, when he scored 21 runs across his two appearances at a strike rate of 150. For a specialist bowler, it is a modest landmark, and it underlines that his value to any side lies entirely in his bowling.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Yudhvir has taken eight wickets in his nine-match IPL career. His career-best figures are recorded as 3/47, while his most famous spell remains the 2 for 19 on debut against Punjab Kings on 15 April 2023, when he dismissed Atharva Taide and Prabhsimran Singh inside his first two overs and finished as Lucknow’s best bowler of the match. That debut promised a new-ball enforcer; the seasons since have shown flashes of that threat without the consistency to make it a weekly habit.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Batting Records
There are no significant IPL batting records to Yudhvir’s name. He has no fifties or centuries in the tournament, and his 22 career runs are the lowest among players with a comparable number of appearances. His batting record is simply that of a tail-ender who has occasionally swung hard and connected.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Auction Price History
| Season | Team | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Mumbai Indians | Rs 20 lakh* | Auction (bought; no matches played) |
| 2023 | Lucknow Super Giants | Rs 20 lakh | Auction (bought) |
| 2024 | Lucknow Super Giants | Rs 20 lakh | Retention |
| 2025 | Rajasthan Royals | Rs 35 lakh | Auction (mega auction, bought) |
| 2026 | Rajasthan Royals | Rs 35 lakh | Retention |
| 2027 | – | – | Not officially confirmed |
A note on the 2021 figure: most statistical aggregators list his Mumbai Indians purchase at a Rs 20 lakh base price, though at least one contemporary report put it at Rs 50 lakh. He was bought, not retained, in every auction appearance; his two retentions, by Lucknow for 2024 and Rajasthan for 2026, kept him at his existing price each time.
Yudhvir Singh IPL Records and Achievements
- Only the second cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to be picked up in the IPL auction (Mumbai Indians, 2021).
- Took 2 for 19 on IPL debut for Lucknow Super Giants against Punjab Kings on 15 April 2023, finishing as his side’s best bowler.
- Served as a net bowler for Mumbai Indians in 2020 and for India ahead of the home series against Bangladesh in 2024.
- Played a central role in Jammu and Kashmir’s historic Ranji Trophy win over Mumbai in 2024-25, taking 7 for 95 in the match and winning the Man of the Match award, finishing that season with 26 wickets in seven games.
- Took 21 wickets in seven Ranji Trophy matches in 2025/26 as Jammu and Kashmir won their maiden first-class title, earning a call-up to the India A setup.
Yudhvir Singh’s IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers paint a clear picture of where Yudhvir stands. His strike rate of 17.25 shows he can take wickets, and his debut proved he is not overawed by the occasion or the new ball. The problem is everything around the wickets: an economy rate of 11.00 across his career, rising to 11.91 in his busiest season, marks him as expensive, and expensive bowlers do not hold down IPL places.
The sample size matters too. Nine matches spread over four seasons is barely a career, and it means every bad over distorts the averages. Franchises clearly see something worth developing: Lucknow retained him once, Rajasthan bought him at a mega auction and retained him again without playing him in 2026. That patience is funded by his domestic form, where his pace and bounce have produced genuine match-winning spells in first-class cricket.
The path to a regular IPL spot is straightforward to describe and hard to execute: bring the economy rate down, especially at the death, and turn the occasional new-ball burst into a repeatable skill. His 2025/26 domestic season suggests the development is happening. Whether Rajasthan, or another franchise, gives him the overs to prove it in 2027 is the open question of his career.
