Rachin Ravindra, a batter, played two IPL seasons, both with Chennai Super Kings.

The arrival

Rachin Ravindra arrived through the auction: Chennai Super Kings paid ₹1.80 cr, against a base price of ₹50 lakh.

That first season brought 10 matches and 222 runs. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2024, for Chennai Super Kings: 222 runs at an average of 22.2, striking at 160.9 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 150.6, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 61.

One franchise

Rachin Ravindra spent the whole IPL career with Chennai Super Kings, from 2024 to 2025. Chennai Super Kings went back to the auction to buy Rachin Ravindra again in 2025 for ₹4 cr.

How the runs came

Across the career, Rachin Ravindra struck at 143.9. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 151.8, so Rachin Ravindra scored about 8 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 62% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 40 fours and 16 sixes.

The fielding record: 10 catches and 1 run-out.

At the auction

Rachin Ravindra went under the hammer three times. The highest price was ₹4 cr, paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2025. 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.

The legacy

Rachin Ravindra made 18 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2025.
