Few IPL careers have swung between extremes like Ishan Kishan’s. The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter went from Mumbai Indians’ record ₹15.25 crore buy in 2022 to being released ahead of the 2025 mega auction, only to be rebuilt by Sunrisers Hyderabad at ₹11.25 crore and handed the captaincy when Pat Cummins was injured in 2026. His numbers tell the same story of a talent that never quite sits still: 516 runs as MI’s leading scorer in the title-winning 2020 season, a maiden IPL hundred on his SRH debut in 2025, and a career-best 602 runs at a strike rate of 182.42 in 2026.

Who Is Ishan Kishan?
Ishan Kishan is an Indian wicketkeeper-batter born on 18 July 1998 in Patna, Bihar. He captained India to the final of the 2016 Under-19 World Cup, which fast-tracked him into the IPL with Gujarat Lions the same year. A left-hander who opens or bats in the top order, he combines clean striking with sharp glove work behind the stumps, and across 134 IPL matches he has taken 68 catches and effected 6 stumpings.
His domestic record is heavyweight: a 273 for Jharkhand in 2016 was the state’s highest first-class score at the time, and in December 2025 he captained Jharkhand to their first Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title with a 49-ball 101 in the final, capping a 517-run campaign. Internationally, he remains the first Indian to score fifties on both his ODI and T20I debuts, holds the world record for the fastest ODI double century (126 balls, against Bangladesh), and was a key member of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2026, where he scored 317 runs at a strike rate of 193.92.
Ishan Kishan IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2016–2017 | Gujarat Lions | Bought for ₹35 lakh (2016 auction) |
| 2018–2021 | Mumbai Indians | Bought for ₹6.20 crore (2018 auction), retained through 2021 |
| 2022–2024 | Mumbai Indians | Bought for ₹15.25 crore (2022 mega auction), retained for 2023 and 2024 |
| 2025–2026 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | Bought for ₹11.25 crore (2025 mega auction), retained for 2026 |
| 2027 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | Expected; retained list not yet officially announced |
Kishan’s team history is really a two-act story. Mumbai Indians invested in him for seven straight seasons, opening alongside Rohit Sharma and finishing with the middle-order power of Suryakumar Yadav. After three underwhelming returns on that price in 2022–2024, MI released him. Sunrisers Hyderabad saw the opportunity, bought him for ₹11.25 crore in the 2025 mega auction, and by 2026 he was not only their first-choice keeper-batter but their stand-in captain while Pat Cummins recovered from a back injury.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 14 | 320 | 69 | 22.86 | 148.84 | 0 | 1 | 35 | 16 |
The 2024 season was the one that ended his Mumbai chapter. Kishan managed 320 runs in 14 matches at an average of just 22.86, and despite striking at nearly 149, he passed fifty only once. It was his third successive middling season after the ₹15.25 crore investment, and MI finished at the bottom of the group stage. Released ahead of the mega auction, he went into the 2025 sale needing a fresh start.
Ishan Kishan IPL 2025 Stats

Kishan could not have announced himself to a new franchise better. On his Sunrisers debut against Rajasthan Royals on 23 March 2025, he struck his maiden IPL hundred — an unbeaten 106 off 46 balls, reaching the century in 45 balls — as SRH piled up 286 for 6, the second-highest total in IPL history. That innings anchored a solid 2025: 354 runs in 14 matches at 35.40 and a strike rate of 152.59. The rest of the season was quieter, with one first-ball duck against Lucknow reminding everyone of his volatility, but the franchise saw enough to keep him for 2026.

Everything clicked in 2026. With Pat Cummins sidelined by a lumbar stress injury at the start of the season, Kishan was named SRH captain — with Abhishek Sharma as his deputy — and responded with the best season of his career: 602 runs in 15 innings at 40.13, striking at 182.42, with six fifties and a best of 91 against Rajasthan Royals. An 80 off 38 against RCB in the season opener and a 31-ball 74 against RR after Cummins’ return underlined his form. SRH went on to reach the Eliminator, where Kishan’s 33 off 11 balls came in a losing effort against RR.
Ishan Kishan IPL 2027 Stats
IPL 2027 statistics are not available yet because the season has not started. What is confirmed: Kishan’s current contract is with Sunrisers Hyderabad, and the franchise has publicly backed him — head coach Daniel Vettori called him “a huge deal” for SRH after the 2025 auction. Reports ahead of the retention deadline list him among SRH’s likely retained players for the IPL 2027 mini auction, and he is reported to be in line for the full-time captaincy should Pat Cummins reduce his IPL commitments in 2027. His 2027 price will only be confirmed once SRH’s official retained list is announced.
Ishan Kishan IPL 2027 Team and Price
Team: Sunrisers Hyderabad (expected; retention not yet officially confirmed). Price: not officially confirmed — his 2026 retention value was ₹11.25 crore. Status: no 2027 auction, retention, or trade announcement has been made yet. Unlike a released player entering the IPL 2027 mini auction, Kishan is on SRH’s books with his future to be settled at the retention deadline, so any 2027 figure circulating online should be treated as speculation until the franchise confirms it.

Ishan Kishan IPL Highest Score
Kishan’s highest IPL score is 106 not out, made for Sunrisers Hyderabad against Rajasthan Royals on 23 March 2025 in his very first innings for the franchise. Chasing a flying start set by Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, he reached his fifty off 25 balls and his maiden IPL hundred off 45, finishing with 106 off 46 balls including 11 fours and six sixes at a strike rate of 225.53. SRH finished on 286 for 6, the second-highest team total in IPL history. His previous best was 99, made for Mumbai Indians in 2020.
Ishan Kishan IPL Batting Records
The headline record in his IPL career is volume: 3,600 runs at a career strike rate of 143.54 puts him among the fastest-scoring Indian keepers in league history. His 30 sixes in IPL 2020 earned him the season’s Maximum Sixes award, and that same year he finished as Mumbai Indians’ highest run-scorer with 516 runs — a rare feat for a wicketkeeper in a title-winning side. The 106* on SRH debut is the standout single-innings record, part of the league’s second-highest team total. Beyond the IPL, his world-record 126-ball ODI double century against Bangladesh remains the fastest in men’s ODI history.

| 2016 | Gujarat Lions | ₹35 lakh | Auction |
| 2017 | Gujarat Lions | ₹35 lakh | Retention |
| 2018 | Mumbai Indians | ₹6.20 crore | Auction |

The ₹15.25 crore Mumbai Indians paid in the 2022 mega auction made Kishan the franchise’s most expensive buy ever at the time, and one of the costliest purchases in auction history. It also became the stick he was measured against — and, after 2022–2024, the reason MI let him go. SRH’s ₹11.25 crore bid in the 2025 mega auction has so far looked like the smarter deal; head coach Daniel Vettori later said securing Kishan on day one was “a huge deal” for SRH, even as the franchise lost T. Natarajan to Delhi Capitals at the same auction. SRH also picked up Mohammed Shami for ₹10 crore that day.

Ishan Kishan’s IPL Performance Analysis
Kishan’s graph is not a steady climb — it is a series of peaks that explain both his price tag and his release. His breakout came in 2020, when he struck at 145.76 and averaged 57.33 as Mumbai’s leading scorer in a championship year. His 516 runs came in a title-winning campaign where MI’s attack was spearheaded by Jasprit Bumrah, and that season set expectations the next three years could not meet: across 2022–2024 he averaged 32.15, 30.27 and 22.86, with his 2022 strike rate dipping to 120.11 — a long way from the fearless opener MI had paid ₹15.25 crore for.
The move to Sunrisers changed his trajectory. In 2025 he struck at 152.59, and in 2026 everything aligned: a career-best 602 runs, six fifties, and a strike rate of 182.42 that was the best of his career by a distance. Two things stand out in the numbers. First, his ceiling is genuinely high — seasons of 516 and 602 runs with strike rates above 145 show a match-winner’s gear. Second, his floor is low — the 2019 and 2024 seasons (101 and 320 runs) show how quickly he can drift when rhythm deserts him. The captaincy seems to have sharpened him: his best numbers have come when leadership was on his shoulders, from Jharkhand’s domestic triumphs to SRH’s 2026 campaign. If he keeps the 2026 form into 2027, the ₹11.25 crore SRH paid will look like a bargain; the risk is the volatility that has always followed him.
