Vishnu Vinod, a wicketkeeper-batter, has played three IPL seasons for three franchises.

Franchise by franchise

2023, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2023 auction for ₹20 lakh. 3 matches and 37 runs.
2026, Punjab Kings. Arrived outside the auction. 1 match and 15 runs.

In the field
The fielding record: 1 catch and 2 stumpings.
At the auction
Vishnu Vinod has gone under the hammer five times, bought four times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹95 lakh, paid by Punjab Kings in 2025, more than 3 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹20 lakh in 2021, ₹95 lakh by 2025. Unsold in 2018, Vishnu Vinod was bought in 2021 by Delhi Capitals. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Delhi Capitals in 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2022 and Punjab Kings in 2025.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
Vishnu Vinod has made 7 IPL appearances, the latest for Punjab Kings in 2026.
