Mayank Agarwal IPL 2027 Stats: Runs, Centuries, Price, Team
Mayank Agarwal has been one of the longest-serving Indian openers in the Indian Premier League, a batter whose IPL story runs from a raw teenager at Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2011 to the Punjab Kings captaincy and, most recently, a title-winning homecoming with RCB. His league career is defined by one blazing evening in Sharjah, a 45-ball hundred against Rajasthan Royals, and by two outstanding seasons in 2020 and 2021 when he ranked among the most productive Indian openers in the tournament. Since then the road has been harder: a lean spell at Sunrisers Hyderabad, going unsold in the 2025 mega auction, and then an unlikely recall as Devdutt Padikkal‘s injury replacement in the RCB side that finally lifted its maiden IPL trophy. This page brings together Mayank Agarwal’s IPL stats, his career numbers, teams, auction price history and his status ahead of IPL 2027.
Few careers in the IPL illustrate the league’s ruthlessness and romance quite like his. Dropped, released and overlooked at various points, Agarwal kept returning through weight of domestic runs, and in 2025 he ended up with a winner’s medal as part of the first RCB squad to win the tournament. His numbers tell the story of a genuine top-order hitter who never quite converted talent into the long, settled run his ability suggested.

Who Is Mayank Agarwal?
Mayank Agarwal is a right-handed opening batter from Bengaluru, born on 16 February 1991. He broke through as a teenage prodigy, captaining India at the 2010 Under-19 World Cup, and made his IPL debut for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2011. At international level he established himself as India’s Test opener, scoring four Test centuries including a double hundred, with 1,488 runs in 21 Tests at an average of 41.33.
In the IPL he has represented six franchises across 15 seasons. His peak came with Punjab, where he formed one of the league’s most destructive opening pairs with KL Rahul and briefly captained the side in 2022. Known for clean, orthodox strokeplay and strong hands through the off side, Agarwal was at his best when given an extended run at the top of the order. A dip in form from 2022 onward cost him his place at Sunrisers Hyderabad, but his 2025 recall by RCB, as a replacement for the injured Devdutt Padikkal, ended with him lifting the IPL trophy.
Mayank Agarwal IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-2013 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru | Squad member |
| 2014-2016 | Delhi Daredevils | Squad member |
| 2017 | Rising Pune Supergiant | Squad member |
| 2018-2022 | Kings XI Punjab / Punjab Kings | Regular opener; captain in 2022 |
| 2023-2024 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | Squad member; released after 2024 |

| 2026 | None | Released by RCB; went unsold at the auction |
| 2027 | Not officially confirmed | Season not started |
Agarwal’s team journey mirrors his form curve. His first stint at RCB (2011-2013) and three years at Delhi produced only flashes, and his single season with Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017 passed quietly. The move to Punjab in 2018 changed everything: a settled opening slot alongside KL Rahul unlocked the best cricket of his IPL career. After Punjab released him following the 2022 season, Sunrisers Hyderabad bought him for Rs 8.25 crore at the 2023 auction, but he managed only four games in 2024 before being released again. His return to RCB in 2025, twelve years after leaving, came as an injury replacement and ended with a championship medal.

| Mat | Runs | HS | 50s | 100s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 64 | Not officially confirmed | 0 | 0 |
The 2024 season was the low point of Agarwal’s IPL career. Retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad but quickly overtaken by the Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head opening combination, he played only four games and scored 64 runs. SRH released him ahead of the 2025 mega auction, and he went unsold at his base price of Rs 1 crore.

Signed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru as Devdutt Padikkal’s injury replacement for Rs 1 crore, Agarwal made an instant impact in a new middle-order role. He slotted into a squad led by Rajat Patidar, with Virat Kohli finishing as RCB’s leading run-scorer in the title campaign. His standout knock was an unbeaten 41 off 23 balls against Lucknow Super Giants, part of a match-winning stand with Jitesh Sharma that sealed RCB’s top-two finish. He followed it with a 13-ball 19 in Qualifier 1 and a vital 24 off 18 in the final against Punjab Kings, finishing with 95 runs at a strike rate of 148.43, his second-best strike rate in a 15-year IPL career, and a winner’s medal.

The career line captures both sides of Agarwal’s IPL story: genuine top-end quality, shown by a hundred and thirteen fifties at a healthy strike rate, and inconsistency, shown by an average below 23 across 131 games. His best years came in 2020 and 2021, when he scored 424 and 441 runs respectively for Punjab, before his output fell sharply from 2022 onward.

Season-by-season figures are shown only where verified by reliable sources. His 2020 and 2021 campaigns with Punjab stand clearly above the rest of his career, while the last three seasons show how quickly his role shrank: 64 runs in 2024, a brief but effective 95 in 2025, and no cricket at all in 2026.
Mayank Agarwal IPL Highest Score
Mayank Agarwal’s highest IPL score is 106, made off 50 balls for Kings XI Punjab against Rajasthan Royals at Sharjah on 27 September 2020. He reached his hundred in 45 balls, the second-fastest by an Indian in IPL history at the time, striking 10 fours and 7 sixes. He added 183 runs for the first wicket with KL Rahul, then the highest opening partnership in Punjab’s IPL history. In a famous twist, Rajasthan chased down the 224-run target to complete what was then the highest successful run chase in IPL history, so the hundred came in a losing cause.

Auction and retention prices before 2022 are not officially confirmed from reliable sources. The Rs 12 crore retention by Punjab ahead of 2022 was the peak of his market value; within three years he was going unsold, a measure of how sharply his stock fell after the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Mayank Agarwal’s IPL Performance Analysis
Agarwal’s IPL numbers describe a player whose ceiling was genuinely high but whose floor kept dropping. Between 2018 and 2021 he was a reliable, aggressive opener, striking at a strong rate and producing the two best seasons of his career when given a settled role next to KL Rahul. From 2022, when the captaincy and a new team dynamic arrived at Punjab, his returns collapsed, and he never recovered a regular place: four games in 2024, a bit-part but efficient role in 2025.
The 2025 stint is the most interesting part of the late career. Moved down the order for the first time, Agarwal adapted, scoring at 148.43 and playing two genuinely important knocks in RCB’s title run. It showed a cricketer still capable of contributing at the highest level in a defined role. Whether that earns him another IPL contract depends on the 2027 auction, but his experience, domestic form for Karnataka and versatility across the top order keep him in the conversation.
