Rajvardhan Hangargekar spent a single IPL season with Chennai Super Kings, 2023: 2 matches, 3 wickets, and a winner's medal when Chennai Super Kings took the title.

The arrival

Rajvardhan Hangargekar's first IPL season was 2023, with Chennai Super Kings, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 2 matches and 3 wickets, and ended with Chennai Super Kings as champions.

At the auction

Rajvardhan Hangargekar went under the hammer three times, bought twice and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹1.50 cr, paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2022, more than 5 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2025, cost ₹30 lakh. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Chennai Super Kings in 2022 and Lucknow Super Giants in 2025.

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