Nishant Sindhu IPL 2027 Stats: Runs, Wickets, Price, Team
For two full seasons, Nishant Sindhu watched IPL cricket from a Chennai Super Kings dugout without getting a game. The Haryana all-rounder was bought by CSK in the December 2022 auction for Rs 60 lakh and retained for 2024, but the debut never arrived. Gujarat Titans changed that: they picked him up in the 2025 mega auction for Rs 30 lakh, kept him for 2026, and finally handed him his first IPL cap. This page covers his complete Nishant Sindhu IPL stats — season-by-season numbers, career totals, auction price history, team and price status for 2027.
In 2026 he played eight matches for GT and scored 63 runs at a strike rate of 126, batting down the order as a left-handed finisher. It is a short record, but it is the first real entry in an IPL career that has been several years in the making. Sindhu arrived in the league with serious age-group pedigree: he was part of India’s 2022 Under-19 World Cup-winning squad and hit an unbeaten fifty in the final against England.

Who Is Nishant Sindhu?
Nishant Sindhu is an Indian all-rounder from Rohtak, Haryana, born on 9 April 2004. His father, Sunil Kumar, was a state-level boxer, and Sindhu trained as a boxer himself before choosing cricket. He plays domestic cricket for Haryana and is a left-handed middle-order batter who bowls slow left-arm orthodox spin.
His age-group record is genuinely strong. In 2017 he scored 290 runs and took 24 wickets in the U-14 Dhruv Pandove Trophy. The following year he led Haryana in the U-16 Vijay Merchant Trophy, scoring 572 runs and taking 23 wickets as his side won the title. He made his first-class debut for Haryana against Tripura in February 2022, his T20 debut against Services in October 2022, and his List A debut against Kerala in November 2022.
The breakthrough came at the 2022 ICC Under-19 World Cup in the West Indies, where he took six wickets in five matches and scored an unbeaten fifty in the final against England as India lifted the trophy. He has since represented India A, including at the 2023 ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup. In domestic T20 cricket he has 21 wickets at an economy of 6.72 and 826 runs at a strike rate of 137.89, which underlines why franchises keep investing in him.
Nishant Sindhu IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Price | Status | Matches |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Chennai Super Kings | Rs 60 lakh | Auction | 0 |
| 2024 | Chennai Super Kings | Rs 60 lakh | Retention | 0 |

| 2026 | Gujarat Titans | Rs 30 lakh | Retention | 8 |
| 2027 | – | – | Not officially confirmed | – |
Sindhu’s IPL story is really two stories. At CSK (2023-2024), he spent two years in the squad alongside players like MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja without a single appearance — bought for Rs 60 lakh in the December 2022 auction and retained a year later, but stuck behind an experienced side. Gujarat Titans bought him at the 2025 mega auction for Rs 30 lakh, kept him for 2026, and finally gave him his debut. No team or price is confirmed for 2027 yet.
Nishant Sindhu IPL 2024 Stats
Sindhu did not play a single match in IPL 2024. He was part of the Chennai Super Kings squad on a retained contract worth Rs 60 lakh, but CSK never picked him in the playing eleven across the season, so there are no batting or bowling figures to report for this year.
Nishant Sindhu IPL 2025 Stats
After moving to Gujarat Titans in the 2025 mega auction for Rs 30 lakh, Sindhu again spent the entire season in the squad without an appearance. His IPL debut was still to come, so no official batting or bowling statistics exist for IPL 2025.
Nishant Sindhu IPL 2026 Stats
| Matches | Innings | Not Out | Runs | HS | Avg | BF | SR | 100s | 50s | 4s | 6s | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 5 | 0 | 63 | 22 | 12.60 | 50 | 126.00 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 2 | 3 |
His debut season finally gave him eight games. Used mostly as a lower-order batter, he faced only 50 balls all season — a strike rate of 126 shows he tried to score quickly whenever he got in, but with a highest score of 22 he never converted a start into anything substantial. Notably, GT never gave him a bowl despite his left-arm spin pedigree in domestic cricket. Three catches in eight games suggest he is a capable fielder, which matters for a squad player fighting for a spot.

IPL 2027 statistics are not available yet because the season has not started. This section will be updated once the 2027 season begins and official figures are published.
Nishant Sindhu IPL 2027 Team and Price
His team and price for IPL 2027 are not officially confirmed. Gujarat Titans retained him for IPL 2026 on a Rs 30 lakh contract, but the franchise has not yet announced its retention decisions for the 2027 season. Whether GT retain him, release him, or he enters the IPL 2027 auction pool will be confirmed when the official retention lists are published. For context on how the process works, see the IPL 2027 retention deadline, rules and purse guide.

| 8 | 5 | 0 | 63 | 22 | 12.60 | 50 | 126.00 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 2 | 3 |
Because Sindhu has played IPL cricket in only one season so far, his career totals are identical to his 2026 numbers. Every run on his record came in Gujarat Titans colours in 2026.

Nishant Sindhu IPL Highest Score
Sindhu’s highest IPL score is 22, made during the 2026 season for Gujarat Titans. The exact match and opposition for that innings are not officially confirmed in the available records. His most recent listed appearance was GT’s game against RCB on 31 May 2026 in Ahmedabad, where he scored 20 off 18 balls.
Nishant Sindhu IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Sindhu has not taken a wicket in the IPL because he has not bowled a single ball in the competition. Across his eight appearances in 2026, Gujarat Titans used him purely as a batter and fielder. This is a curious gap: his slow left-arm orthodox bowling is a genuine weapon in domestic cricket — 21 T20 wickets at an economy of 6.72 — and was one of the reasons CSK originally signed him. Whether a future franchise trusts his bowling in the IPL remains an open question.
Nishant Sindhu IPL Auction Price History
| Season | Team | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Chennai Super Kings | Rs 60 lakh | Auction (bought) |
| 2024 | Chennai Super Kings | Rs 60 lakh | Retention |
| 2025 | Gujarat Titans | Rs 30 lakh | Auction (bought, mega auction) |
| 2026 | Gujarat Titans | Rs 30 lakh | Retention |
| 2027 | – | – | Not officially confirmed |
The price trend tells its own story. CSK paid Rs 60 lakh for his promise in December 2022, when he was fresh off the U19 World Cup win. By the 2025 mega auction his value had halved to Rs 30 lakh — he had spent two seasons without playing a game. GT held that same Rs 30 lakh figure when they retained him for 2026.

Nishant Sindhu IPL Records and Achievements
There are no major IPL records attached to Sindhu’s name yet — eight matches is too thin a record for that. His standout career achievement remains the 2022 ICC Under-19 World Cup, where he was a key member of India’s title-winning squad, took six wickets in five matches, and scored an unbeaten fifty in the final against England. His IPL debut for Gujarat Titans in 2026 is the other milestone on the list so far.
Nishant Sindhu’s IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers describe a very specific kind of player at IPL level so far: a squad all-rounder used as a batting-only option. Five innings in eight matches means he went in to bat in roughly every other game, and 50 balls faced across the season is about six deliveries per match — the classic profile of a lower-order finisher rather than a set batter.
Two things stand out. First, the intent is there: a strike rate of 126 across those 50 balls, with seven fours and two sixes, shows he was trying to hit from ball one. Second, the lack of a single fifty — or even a score past 22 — shows he never got enough time at the crease to build anything. That is partly a role problem and partly a sample-size problem; you cannot judge a 22-year-old on 50 balls.
The bigger question is the bowling. GT never used his left-arm spin in 2026, which suggests the coaching staff did not yet rate him as an IPL bowling option. If he is going to become more than a squad batter, the bowling has to come into play — his domestic T20 record of 21 wickets at 6.72 an over says the skill exists. His 2027 prospects will hinge on whether GT still see him as a developing project worth retaining, or whether he has to prove himself again at the auction.
