Mohit Sharma IPL 2027 Stats: Wickets, Price, Team
Mohit Sharma’s IPL story is one of the great comebacks in the tournament’s history. He broke through with Chennai Super Kings in 2013, won the Purple Cap in 2014 under MS Dhoni‘s captaincy, and then watched his career fade to the point where he was unsold at auction and back surgery threatened to end it. In 2023, he returned as a Gujarat Titans net bowler, fought his way into the playing XI, and finished with 27 wickets, including a stunning 5/10 against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2. Across a 13-year IPL career, Mohit Sharma took 134 wickets in 120 matches.
He announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 3 December 2025. That decision shapes everything about his IPL 2027 entry: there are no playing stats to report, because the season has not started and he is no longer a player. Instead, Mohit returns to the tournament in a brand-new role. In late September 2026, Chennai Super Kings confirmed he will be their bowling coach for IPL 2027, working under new head coach Zaheer Khan. This page covers his complete IPL career statistics, his teams, every verified auction price, and what his coaching role means for the 2027 season.

Who Is Mohit Sharma?
Mohit Sharma is a former Indian fast bowler from Ballabhgarh, Haryana, born on 18 September 1988. He played domestic cricket for Haryana and represented India in 26 ODIs and 8 T20Is, taking 31 and 6 wickets respectively. His biggest international moment came at the 2015 ODI World Cup, where he finished as India’s joint third-highest wicket-taker with 13 wickets.
In the IPL, Mohit played 11 seasons for four franchises: Chennai Super Kings, Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans. He was a right-arm medium pacer who relied on seam movement, cutters and a clever slower ball rather than raw pace. After back surgery and two unsold seasons, he rebuilt his career at Gujarat Titans in 2023, one of the most remarkable late-career turnarounds the league has seen. He closed out his playing career with Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 and announced his retirement in December 2025 at the age of 37.

| 2027 | Chennai Super Kings | Bowling coach (first coaching role) |
Mohit’s team changes tell the story of his career arc. He was a fixture at Chennai in the early years, then a big-money signing for Punjab that never quite delivered. Two single-game seasons followed at Chennai (2019) and Delhi (2020), and after missing 2021 entirely he was unsold in the 2022 auction. That could have been the end. Instead, Gujarat Titans took him on as a net bowler, he impressed the management, and his 2023 season was so good that Delhi Capitals paid INR 2.20 crore for him in the 2025 mega auction.
Mohit Sharma IPL 2024 Stats
| Mat | Overs | Wkts | Avg | Econ | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 39.0 | 13 | 32.69 | 10.90 | 3/25 |
The 2024 season was a sharp fall from his 2023 heights. Mohit played 12 matches for Gujarat Titans and took 13 wickets, but his economy rate of 10.90 was among the most expensive of the tournament’s regular bowlers. By the end of the year, Gujarat released him into the 2025 mega auction pool.
Mohit Sharma IPL 2025 Stats
| Mat | Wkts | Econ | Best |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 2 | 10.00 | 1/10 |
Delhi Capitals outbid Gujarat Titans to sign Mohit for INR 2.20 crore at the 2025 mega auction, hoping for a repeat of his 2023 form. It never arrived. He played eight matches alongside Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed in the Delhi attack but managed only two wickets at an economy of 10. His final IPL appearance came against Punjab Kings at Jaipur on 24 May 2025, where he returned figures of 0/47. In December 2025 he announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.
Mohit Sharma IPL 2026 Stats
Mohit Sharma did not play in IPL 2026. He had retired from professional cricket in December 2025, so there are no IPL 2026 statistics for him. His last competitive IPL cricket remains the 2025 season with Delhi Capitals.
Mohit Sharma IPL 2027 Stats
IPL 2027 statistics are not available because the season has not started. More importantly, Mohit Sharma will not be playing in IPL 2027 at all. Following his retirement, Chennai Super Kings confirmed in late September 2026 that he will join the franchise as their bowling coach for the 2027 season, replacing Eric Simons. The appointment was recommended by CSK’s new head coach Zaheer Khan, and it is Mohit’s first coaching role.
Mohit Sharma IPL 2027 Team and Price
Mohit Sharma’s IPL 2027 team is Chennai Super Kings, where he will serve as bowling coach. He was not part of any auction or retention process for 2027 because he is retired as a player. For reference, his last playing contract was the INR 2.20 crore deal with Delhi Capitals at the IPL 2025 mega auction. Details of his coaching contract have not been officially disclosed.

| Career | 120 | 127 | 21* | 6.68 | 96.95 |
Mohit was a specialist tailender and never pretended to be otherwise. His 127 career IPL runs came almost entirely in useful late-order cameos, with his highest score of 21 not out made during his 2015 season with Chennai.
Mohit Sharma IPL Career Bowling Stats

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 120 | 400.3 | 3513 | 134 | 26.22 | 8.77 | 5/10 | 3 | 1 |
Those career figures place Mohit among the more durable pace bowlers the IPL has seen. His 134 wickets came at a strike rate of under 18 balls per wicket, and he remains one of the few bowlers to have won the Purple Cap and then, nearly a decade later, finished among the top wicket-takers of a season again.

Mohit Sharma IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Mohit finished his IPL career with 134 wickets from 120 matches, with three four-wicket hauls and one five-wicket haul.

His next-best, 4/14, came during his Purple Cap season of 2014.
Across his two spells with Chennai, he took 57 wickets in 48 matches for the franchise, which explains why CSK have now trusted him with their bowling group for 2027.

Mohit Sharma’s IPL Performance Analysis
Mohit’s career splits neatly into three phases. The first, 2013 to 2015 at Chennai, was his peak: 57 wickets across three seasons, built on an outstanding 2014 where his economy of 8.39 was excellent for a bowler trusted at the death. The middle phase, 2016 to 2020, was a long decline — his average never dipped below 31 in any of those five seasons, and by 2018 his economy had ballooned past 10. Franchises stopped picking him, and after back surgery he missed two full seasons.
The third phase is the extraordinary part. Signed by Gujarat for his base price in 2023 after starting as their net bowler, he delivered 27 wickets at an average of 13.37 and an economy of 8.17 — numbers that matched his very best years. He did it alongside Noor Ahmad, Vijay Shankar and Ishant Sharma in the Titans setup, but it was his variations that stood out. That the resurgence lasted only one season is honest context too: 2024 and 2025 were poor, with economies above 10 in both years.
