The arrival
Arshdeep Singh arrived through the auction: Kings XI Punjab paid ₹20 lakh, the base price.
That first season brought 3 matches and 3 wickets at 10.90 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2025, for Punjab Kings: 21 wickets at 8.88 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.48, with best figures of 3 for 16. Four seasons brought 15 wickets or more (2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025).
One franchise
Arshdeep Singh has spent the whole IPL career with Kings XI Punjab, now Punjab Kings, from 2019 to 2026. Kings XI Punjab went back to the auction to buy Arshdeep Singh again in 2025 for ₹18 cr.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 111 wickets in 2,038 deliveries, at 9.16 runs an over against a league rate of 8.90 for the same seasons: 0.26 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There were three four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 5 for 32.
35.1% of the balls Arshdeep Singh bowled were dots, a higher share than 51% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 18.3 balls.
The fielding record: 16 catches and 4 run-outs.
At the auction

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