Yudhvir Singh
Right-hand bat
Yudhvir Singh, a bowler, played three IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Yudhvir Singh arrived through the auction: Lucknow Super Giants paid ₹20 lakh, the base price. That debut came after going unsold once (2022).
That first season brought 3 matches, 1 run and 3 wickets.
The peak
The best season was 2025, for Rajasthan Royals: 4 wickets at 11.73 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 9.48, with best figures of 3 for 47.
Franchise by franchise
2023 to 2024, Lucknow Super Giants. Bought at the 2023 auction for ₹20 lakh. 5 matches and 4 wickets.
2025, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹35 lakh. 4 matches and 4 wickets.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Lucknow Super Giants, 2023 to 2024.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 8 wickets in 139 deliveries, at 10.92 runs an over against a league rate of 9.22 for the same seasons: 1.70 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.
At the auction
Yudhvir Singh went under the hammer four times, bought three times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹35 lakh, paid by Rajasthan Royals in 2025. Unsold in 2022, Yudhvir Singh was bought again in 2023 by Lucknow Super Giants. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Mumbai Indians in 2021.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Yudhvir Singh made 9 IPL appearances, the last for Rajasthan Royals in 2025.
