From CricArcade's IPL records, 2013 to 2025 · Sources

Sachin Baby, a batter, played five IPL seasons for three franchises.

The arrival

Sachin Baby's first IPL season was 2013, with Rajasthan Royals, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 4 matches and 3 runs.

Franchise by franchise

2013, Rajasthan Royals. 4 matches and 3 runs.

2016 to 2021, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bought at the 2016 auction for ₹10 lakh. 15 matches, 141 runs and 2 wickets.

2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹30 lakh. 1 match.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Royal Challengers Bangalore, 2016 to 2021. 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.

In the field

The fielding record: 5 catches and 3 run-outs.

At the auction

Sachin Baby went under the hammer seven times, bought four times and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹30 lakh, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹10 lakh in 2016, ₹30 lakh by 2025. Unsold in 2019, Sachin Baby was bought again in 2021 by Royal Challengers Bangalore. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018.

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

The legacy

Sachin Baby made 20 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025.
