Sushant Mishra
On scorecards: SS Mishra · Right-hand bat
Sushant Mishra spent a single IPL season with Rajasthan Royals, 2026: 2 matches, 1 run, 2 wickets.
The arrival
Sushant Mishra arrived through the auction: Rajasthan Royals paid ₹90 lakh, against a base price of ₹30 lakh. That debut came after going unsold three times (2022, 2023 and 2025).
That first season brought 2 matches, 1 run and 2 wickets.
At the auction
Sushant Mishra has gone under the hammer five times, bought twice and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹2.2 cr, paid by Gujarat Titans in 2024, more than 11 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2026, cost ₹90 lakh. Unsold in 2022, Sushant Mishra was bought in 2024 by Gujarat Titans. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Gujarat Titans in 2024.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
