From CricArcade's IPL records, 2019 to 2026 · Sources

Anukul Roy, a bowler, has played six IPL seasons for two franchises. Two titles came along the way.

The arrival

Anukul Roy's first IPL season was 2019, with Mumbai Indians, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 1 match and 1 wicket, and ended with Mumbai Indians as champions.

The peak

The best season was 2026, for Kolkata Knight Riders: 9 wickets at 9.61 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.73, with best figures of 2 for 31.

Franchise by franchise

2019, Mumbai Indians. 1 match and 1 wicket; champions in 2019.

2022 to 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹20 lakh. 24 matches and 14 wickets; champions in 2024.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Kolkata Knight Riders, 2022 to 2026. 2020 and 2021 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 15 wickets in 323 deliveries, at 8.90 runs an over against a league rate of 9.30 for the same seasons: 0.40 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 17 catches and 2 run-outs.

At the auction

Anukul Roy has gone under the hammer three times. The highest price was ₹40 lakh, paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2025. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Mumbai Indians in 2018.

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

Where it stands

Anukul Roy has made 25 IPL appearances, the latest for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2026.
