Kuldeep Sen, a bowler, played three IPL seasons, all of them with Rajasthan Royals.

The arrival

Kuldeep Sen arrived through the auction: Rajasthan Royals paid ₹20 lakh, the base price. That debut came after going unsold twice (2020 and 2021).

That first season brought 7 matches and 8 wickets at 9.42 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.

The peak

The best season was 2022, for Rajasthan Royals: 8 wickets at 9.42 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.36, with best figures of 4 for 20.

One franchise

Kuldeep Sen spent the whole IPL career with Rajasthan Royals, from 2022 to 2024. Rajasthan Royals went back to the auction to buy Kuldeep Sen again in 2026 for ₹75 lakh.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 14 wickets in 243 deliveries, at 9.56 runs an over against a league rate of 8.70 for the same seasons: 0.86 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 20.

The fielding record: 3 catches.

At the auction

Kuldeep Sen went under the hammer five times, bought three times and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹80 lakh, paid by Punjab Kings in 2025. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹20 lakh in 2022, ₹75 lakh by 2026. Unsold in 2020, Kuldeep Sen was bought in 2022 by Rajasthan Royals. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Punjab Kings in 2025 and Rajasthan Royals in 2026.

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

The legacy

Kuldeep Sen made 12 IPL appearances, the last for Rajasthan Royals in 2024.
