Shahrukh Khan
On scorecards: M Shahrukh Khan · Right-hand bat
Shahrukh Khan, a batter, has played six IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Shahrukh Khan arrived through the auction: Punjab Kings paid ₹5.25 cr, against a base price of ₹20 lakh. That debut came after going unsold once (2020).
That first season brought 11 matches and 153 runs.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2025, for Gujarat Titans: 179 runs at an average of 29.8, striking at 179.0 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 152.9, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 57.
Franchise by franchise
2021 to 2023, Punjab Kings. Bought at the 2021 auction for ₹5.25 cr. 33 matches and 426 runs.
2024 to 2026, Gujarat Titans. Bought at the 2024 auction for ₹7.40 cr. 31 matches, 349 runs and 1 wicket.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Punjab Kings, 2021 to 2023.
How the runs came
Across the career, Shahrukh Khan has struck at 147.9. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 141.4, so Shahrukh Khan has scored about 7 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 66% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 49 fours and 52 sixes.
The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 35.3% of the balls Shahrukh Khan faced were dot balls, a lower share than 56% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 10.1 balls, the 9th-best rate in that group, and a four every 10.7.
The fielding record: 28 catches and 1 run-out.
At the auction
Shahrukh Khan has gone under the hammer four times, bought three times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹9 cr, paid by Punjab Kings in 2022, more than 22 times the base price. Unsold in 2020, Shahrukh Khan was bought in 2021 by Punjab Kings.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
Shahrukh Khan has made 64 IPL appearances, the latest for Gujarat Titans in 2026.
