That first season brought 2 matches and 2 wickets.
At the auction
Prashant Solanki went under the hammer three times, bought twice and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹1.2 cr, paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2022, more than 6 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2026, cost ₹30 lakh. Unsold in 2025, Prashant Solanki was bought again in 2026 by Kolkata Knight Riders. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2026.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
