From CricArcade's IPL records, 2025 to 2026 · Sources

Himmat Singh, a batter, has played two IPL seasons, both with Lucknow Super Giants.

The arrival

Himmat Singh arrived through the auction: Lucknow Super Giants paid ₹30 lakh, the base price. That debut came after going unsold five times (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024).

That first season brought 3 matches.

One franchise

Himmat Singh has spent the whole IPL career with Lucknow Super Giants, from 2025 to 2026.

In the field

The fielding record: 2 catches.

At the auction

Himmat Singh has gone under the hammer seven times, bought twice and left unsold five times. The highest price was ₹65 lakh, paid by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019, more than 3 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2025, cost ₹30 lakh. Unsold in 2020, Himmat Singh was bought again in 2025 by Lucknow Super Giants. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019.

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

Where it stands

Himmat Singh has made 9 IPL appearances, the latest for Lucknow Super Giants in 2026.
