From CricArcade's IPL records, 2009 to 2013 · Sources

Abhimanyu Mithun, a bowler, played five IPL seasons, all of them with Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The arrival

Abhimanyu Mithun's first IPL season was 2009, with Royal Challengers Bangalore, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 1 match.

One franchise

Abhimanyu Mithun spent the whole IPL career with Royal Challengers Bangalore, from 2009 to 2013. Royal Challengers Bangalore bought Abhimanyu Mithun at the auction in 2011 for ₹1.17 cr.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 7 wickets in 297 deliveries, at 9.54 runs an over against a league rate of 7.52 for the same seasons: 2.01 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 7 catches and 1 run-out.

At the auction

Abhimanyu Mithun went under the hammer four times, bought three times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹1.17 cr (US$260k), paid by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2011. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2016, cost ₹30 lakh. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Mumbai Indians in 2015 and Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2016.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Abhimanyu Mithun made 16 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013.
