Himmat Singh waited six years for his first IPL match, and when it finally came, it was worth the wait. The Delhi right-hander was bought by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2019 auction for 65 lakh rupees but never got a game for them. He went back to domestic cricket, led Delhi, won the Delhi Premier League as captain, and eventually earned a second chance when Lucknow Super Giants picked him up at the 2025 mega auction. This page brings together complete Himmat Singh IPL stats: his career numbers, season by season records for 2025 and 2026, auction price history, and his current IPL 2027 status.
In the 2026 season, Himmat got a real run in the LSG middle order and showed he belonged at this level. Across six matches he scored 92 runs at a strike rate of 133.33, including an unbeaten 40 off 31 balls against Mumbai Indians. It is still a small sample, but it answers the biggest question about him: he can bat at IPL pace. Here is everything we know about his IPL journey so far.

Who Is Himmat Singh?
Himmat Singh is a Delhi batter born on 8 November 1996 who bats right handed and bowls right arm off break as an occasional option. He came up through Delhi age group cricket, captaining the state at under 16 and under 19 level, and trained at the Sonnet Cricket Club under coach Tarak Sinha, a mentor who has also guided names like Ashish Nehra, Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant.
His senior domestic debut came in the 2015-16 Vijay Hazare Trophy, followed by a first class debut in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy season. Over time he grew into a leadership figure for Delhi and was appointed the state’s Ranji Trophy captain. His highest first class score is 194, made against Uttarakhand in January 2024. In domestic white ball cricket he has five T20 half centuries, with a T20 high score of 77.
The moment that changed his career came in 2024, when he captained the East Delhi Riders to the title in the inaugural Delhi Premier League. That performance put him back on the IPL radar after five years away, and Lucknow Super Giants signed him at the 2025 mega auction.

Himmat’s IPL story has two distinct chapters. The first was the 2019 auction, where Rajasthan Royals opened the bidding and RCB eventually signed him for 65 lakh rupees, but he never made it into the playing eleven. The second began at the 2025 mega auction, when Lucknow Super Giants bought him for his 30 lakh base price. LSG kept him for 2026, and that is where his actual on-field IPL career began.
Himmat Singh IPL 2024 Stats
Himmat Singh was not part of any IPL squad in 2024. He went unsold and spent the season playing domestic cricket instead, most notably captaining the East Delhi Riders to the Delhi Premier League title, the performance that earned him a return to the auction pool.

Himmat made his long awaited IPL debut in 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants against Gujarat Titans, coming in as an impact substitute option. He appeared in three matches during the season but did not get a batting innings, so there are no 2025 batting numbers on his record. It was a foot in the door rather than a breakthrough.

The 2026 season is the one that put real numbers on Himmat Singh’s IPL record. Retained by LSG, he got six matches and batted five times, scoring 92 runs. The standout knock was his unbeaten 40 off 31 balls against Mumbai Indians on 4 May 2026, and he also chipped in with useful cameos: 19 off 10 against KKR, 17 off 12 against CSK, and 15 off 15 against RR. A strike rate of 133.33 with five sixes shows a batter comfortable taking on spin and pace alike, even if the 50 count is still zero.

Nine matches, five innings, 92 runs. It is one of the shortest IPL careers in this library so far, but the underlying numbers are respectable: an average above 30 and a strike rate above 130 is a decent return for a middle order batter getting his first extended look. He has also taken two catches in the field.

Himmat Singh’s highest IPL score is 40 not out, made off 31 balls for Lucknow Super Giants against Mumbai Indians on 4 May 2026.

Himmat Singh IPL Auction Price History

| 2019 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Rs 65 lakh | Auction pick |

The price history tells the story of a player who cost more as an unknown than as a proven domestic performer. RCB paid 65 lakh for him in 2019 off potential and youth cricket form. Six years later, LSG paid his 30 lakh base price and kept him at the same figure for 2026.
Himmat Singh’s IPL Performance Analysis
There is not much data to work with, but what exists points in a positive direction. Himmat’s 2026 numbers, 92 runs at 30.67 and a strike rate of 133.33, come from just five innings, yet the balance of average and strike rate suggests a batter who does not panic. His boundary split is even, five fours and five sixes, which fits his domestic reputation as someone who can anchor and then accelerate.
The caveat is obvious: five innings is not enough to draw conclusions. His 2025 season produced zero batting innings across three appearances, so 2026 was effectively his rookie season at age 29. The encouraging sign for LSG fans is that his strike rate held up across different phases of the innings, and his best knock came against a strong Mumbai attack rather than in a dead rubber.
What he needs next is volume. More innings will show whether he can convert starts into fifties, something he has managed five times in domestic T20 cricket but not yet in the IPL. Sharing a dressing room with finishers like Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant should help: he has role models for exactly the middle order job he is trying to make his own. Ravi Bishnoi, Ayush Badoni and Devdutt Padikkal are other LSG teammates with full stats pages on this site.
