Simarjeet Singh
Right-hand bat
Simarjeet Singh, a bowler, played three IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Simarjeet Singh arrived through the auction: Chennai Super Kings paid ₹20 lakh, the base price. That debut came after going unsold once (2021).
That first season brought 6 matches, 7 runs and 4 wickets at 7.60 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2024, for Chennai Super Kings: 5 wickets at 10.08 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.37, with best figures of 3 for 26.
Franchise by franchise
2022 to 2024, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹20 lakh. 10 matches and 9 wickets.
2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹1.5 cr. 4 matches and 2 wickets.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Chennai Super Kings, 2022 to 2024. 2023 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 11 wickets in 242 deliveries, at 9.92 runs an over against a league rate of 8.94 for the same seasons: 0.97 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.
The fielding record: 3 catches and 1 run-out.
At the auction
Simarjeet Singh went under the hammer four times, bought twice and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹1.5 cr, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025, more than 5 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹20 lakh in 2022, ₹1.5 cr by 2025. Unsold in 2021, Simarjeet Singh was bought in 2022 by Chennai Super Kings.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Simarjeet Singh made 14 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025, and won 1 player-of-the-match award.
