The arrival

Andrew McDonald's first IPL season was 2009, with Delhi Daredevils, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 1 match and 3 runs.

With the ball, 11 wickets in 186 deliveries, at 8.42 runs an over against a league rate of 7.71 for the same seasons: 0.71 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.
