Aiden Blizzard
On scorecards: AC Blizzard · Right-hand bat
Aiden Blizzard, a batter, played two IPL seasons, both with Mumbai Indians.
The arrival
Aiden Blizzard arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹9 lakh (US$20k), the base price. That debut came after going unsold once (2009).
That first season brought 6 matches and 120 runs.
One franchise
Aiden Blizzard spent the whole IPL career with Mumbai Indians, from 2011 to 2012. Mumbai Indians went back to the auction to buy Aiden Blizzard again in 2015 for ₹30 lakh.
In the field
The fielding record: 4 catches.
At the auction
Aiden Blizzard went under the hammer three times, bought twice and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹30 lakh, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2015. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹9 lakh in 2011, ₹30 lakh by 2015. Unsold in 2009, Aiden Blizzard was bought in 2011 by Mumbai Indians. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Mumbai Indians in 2015.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Aiden Blizzard made 7 IPL appearances, the last for Mumbai Indians in 2012.
