Atharva Taide
Right-hand bat
Atharva Taide, a batter, played three IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Atharva Taide's first IPL season was 2023, with Punjab Kings, a signing made outside the auction.
That first season brought 7 matches and 186 runs. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2023, for Punjab Kings: 186 runs at an average of 26.6, striking at 144.2 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 141.9, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 66.
Franchise by franchise
2023 to 2024, Punjab Kings. 9 matches and 247 runs.
2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹30 lakh. 1 match and 13 runs.
2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Punjab Kings, 2023 to 2024.
How the runs came
Across the career, Atharva Taide struck at 146.9. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 144.4, so the scoring rate tracked the league's almost exactly. 65% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 30 fours and 8 sixes.
The fielding record: 5 catches.
At the auction
Atharva Taide went under the hammer three times, bought twice and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹30 lakh, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Punjab Kings in 2022.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Atharva Taide made 10 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025.
