Josh Inglis IPL 2026: Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis had stated that he would only be able to play four matches in IPL 2026. Despite this, he received a significant amount of money in the auction.

Josh Inglis was considered unlikely to be bought in the IPL 2026 auction. In fact, even the Punjab Kings were not likely to let him go, as he played a crucial role in helping the franchise reach the finals last season. However, despite being told he would only be able to play four matches in IPL 2026, he received a substantial sum at the auction. He has been acquired by the Lucknow Super Giants.

Josh Inglis' base price was ₹2 crore (20 million rupees). Despite knowing he would only play four matches, teams were fiercely competing to acquire him. Ultimately, the Lucknow Super Giants signed Inglis for ₹8.6 crore (86 million rupees).

Why will England play only 4 matches in IPL 2026?

Josh Inglis will be getting married during the 2026 IPL season, so he had already announced that he will not be able to play all of the IPL 19 matches. He would only be able to play four matches, for which he set his base price at ₹2 crore (20 million rupees). It was expected that he would be unlikely to be bought by any team, but on the contrary, he received a large sum. The Lucknow Super Giants bought him for ₹8.6 crore (86 million rupees).
