From CricArcade's IPL records, 2021 to 2026 · Sources

Akash Singh, a bowler, has played four IPL seasons for three franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Akash Singh arrived through the auction: Rajasthan Royals paid ₹20 lakh, the base price.

That first season brought 1 match.

The peak

The best season was 2023, for Chennai Super Kings: 5 wickets at 9.89 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.79, with best figures of 2 for 40. Chennai Super Kings won the title that year.

Franchise by franchise

2021, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2021 auction for ₹20 lakh. 1 match.

2023, Chennai Super Kings. Arrived outside the auction. 6 matches and 5 wickets; champions in 2023.

2025 to 2026, Lucknow Super Giants. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹30 lakh. 5 matches and 8 wickets.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Lucknow Super Giants, 2025 to 2026. 2022 and 2024 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 13 wickets in 247 deliveries, at 9.86 runs an over against a league rate of 9.05 for the same seasons: 0.81 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.

The fielding record: 2 catches.

At the auction

Akash Singh has gone under the hammer eight times, bought four times and left unsold four times. The highest price was ₹30 lakh, paid by Lucknow Super Giants in 2025. Unsold in 2022, Akash Singh was bought again in 2024 by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Rajasthan Royals in 2020 and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2024.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

Where it stands

Akash Singh has made 12 IPL appearances, the latest for Lucknow Super Giants in 2026.
