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

Josh Inglis, a wicketkeeper-batter, has played two IPL seasons for two franchises.

The arrival

Josh Inglis arrived through the auction: Punjab Kings paid ₹2.60 cr, against a base price of ₹2 cr. That debut came after going unsold twice (2021 and 2024).

That first season brought 12 matches and 278 runs. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2025, for Punjab Kings: 278 runs at an average of 30.9, striking at 162.6 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 152.9, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 73.

Measured against the league around it, though, the most destructive season was 2026: 266 runs at a strike rate of 186.0, 30 runs per hundred balls quicker than the IPL as a whole that year.

Franchise by franchise

2025, Punjab Kings. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹2.60 cr. 12 matches and 278 runs.

2026, Lucknow Super Giants. Bought at the 2026 auction for ₹8.60 cr. 5 matches and 266 runs.

How the runs came

Across the career, Josh Inglis has struck at 173.3. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 154.5, so Josh Inglis has scored about 19 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 74% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 58 fours and 28 sixes.

The fielding record: 10 catches and 1 stumping.

At the auction

Josh Inglis has gone under the hammer four times, bought twice and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹8.60 cr, paid by Lucknow Super Giants in 2026, more than 4 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹2.60 cr in 2025, ₹8.60 cr by 2026. Unsold in 2021, Josh Inglis was bought in 2025 by Punjab Kings.

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

Where it stands

Josh Inglis has made 17 IPL appearances, the latest for Lucknow Super Giants in 2026, and has won 1 player-of-the-match award.
