Josh Inglis is an Australian wicketkeeper-batter who operates in both the top and middle order. His primary skillset involves aggressive strokeplay and accelerating the run rate, often utilized in a disruptor's role to unsettle bowling attacks. He holds the distinction of being only the fourth Australian cricketer to register centuries across all three international formats. He was a member of the Australian squads that secured the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, and the 2023 World Test Championship. Inglis began his Indian Premier League (IPL) career with the Punjab Kings in 2025 after being acquired for ₹2.60 Crore. During his debut season, he scored 278 runs in 11 matches at a strike rate of 162.57, including a high score of 73 off 42 balls against the Mumbai Indians, assisting the franchise in reaching the tournament final. During the IPL 2026 mega auction, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) acquired him for ₹8.60 Crore following a significant bidding contest.
