Ben Dwarshuis spent a single IPL season with Punjab Kings, 2026: 1 match, 1 wicket.

The arrival

Ben Dwarshuis arrived through the auction: Punjab Kings paid ₹4.40 cr, against a base price of ₹1 cr. That debut came after going unsold five times (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025).

That first season brought 1 match and 1 wicket.

In the field

The fielding record: 1 catch.

At the auction

Ben Dwarshuis has gone under the hammer seven times, bought twice and left unsold five times. The highest price was ₹4.40 cr, paid by Punjab Kings in 2026, more than 4 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹1.40 cr in 2018, ₹4.40 cr by 2026. Unsold in 2021, Ben Dwarshuis was bought again in 2026 by Punjab Kings. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kings XI Punjab in 2018.

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