Ramakrishna Ghosh made his IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings against Mumbai Indians on May 2, 2026, generating a remarkable profit of ₹42.84 lakh. His performance marked a recovery percentage of 956.8%, reflecting his immediate impact on the team.

Ghosh was picked by CSK in the 2025 IPL auction for his base price of INR 30 lakh. In his debut match, he took one wicket and completed one catch, contributing to a match worth ₹47.84 lakh while costing the franchise just ₹5 lakh.

Before joining CSK, Ghosh showcased his talent in domestic cricket. He recorded impressive figures of 7/42 in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Himachal Pradesh and achieved a career-best List A score of 73 runs against Punjab from No.6.

His statistics in List A cricket include 21 wickets at an average of 21.45 and 246 runs at an average of 35.14. Additionally, he has taken 28 wickets in just 13 first-class matches with an average of 33.

Ghosh became only the twelfth player to take seven wickets or more in a single Vijay Hazare Trophy game. This achievement adds to his growing reputation as a key player for CSK and raises expectations for his future performances.

The next challenge for Ghosh will be maintaining this level of performance as CSK looks to build on their success in IPL 2026.
