From CricArcade's IPL records, 2010 to 2017 · Sources

Bipul Sharma, a bowler, played seven IPL seasons for two franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Bipul Sharma's first IPL season was 2010, with Kings XI Punjab, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 5 matches, 9 runs and 3 wickets at 9.40 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2011, for Kings XI Punjab: 4 wickets at 6.50 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.51, with best figures of 2 for 32.

Franchise by franchise

2010 to 2013, Kings XI Punjab. 15 matches, 104 runs and 8 wickets.

2015 to 2017, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Arrived outside the auction. 18 matches and 9 wickets; champions in 2016.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Kings XI Punjab, 2010 to 2013. 2014 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 17 wickets in 426 deliveries, at 8.06 runs an over against a league rate of 7.94 for the same seasons, right on the going rate.

The fielding record: 7 catches and 3 run-outs.

At the auction

Bipul Sharma went under the hammer once. The price was ₹20 lakh, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018.

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

The legacy

Bipul Sharma made 33 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2017.
