From CricArcade's IPL records, 2023 to 2026 · Sources

Noor Ahmad, a bowler, has played four IPL seasons for two franchises.

The arrival

Noor Ahmad's first IPL season was 2023, with Gujarat Titans, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 13 matches, 8 runs and 16 wickets at 7.80 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2025, for Chennai Super Kings: 24 wickets at 8.08 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.48, with best figures of 4 for 18. Two seasons brought 15 wickets or more (2023 and 2025).

Franchise by franchise

2023 to 2024, Gujarat Titans. 23 matches and 24 wickets.

2025 to 2026, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹10 cr. 28 matches and 37 wickets.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Gujarat Titans, 2023 to 2024.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 61 wickets in 1,103 deliveries, at 8.13 runs an over against a league rate of 9.35 for the same seasons: 1.22 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight. There were two four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 4 for 18.

32.6% of the balls Noor Ahmad bowled were dots, a lower share than 72% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 18 balls.

The fielding record: 12 catches and 1 run-out.

At the auction

Noor Ahmad has gone under the hammer twice. The highest price was ₹10 cr, paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2025, more than 5 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹30 lakh in 2022, ₹10 cr by 2025. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Gujarat Titans in 2022.

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

Where it stands

Noor Ahmad has made 51 IPL appearances, the latest for Chennai Super Kings in 2026, and has won 3 player-of-the-match awards.
