Corey Anderson
On scorecards: CJ Anderson · Right-hand bat
Corey Anderson, a batter, played four IPL seasons for three franchises. One title came along the way.
The arrival
Corey Anderson arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹4.50 cr, against a base price of ₹1 cr.
That first season brought 12 matches, 265 runs and 4 wickets at 10.22 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2014, for Mumbai Indians: 265 runs at an average of 29.4, striking at 146.4 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 129.1, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 95 not out.
With the ball, the best season was 2014, for Mumbai Indians: 4 wickets at 10.22 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.98, with best figures of 2 for 18.
Franchise by franchise
2014 to 2015, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2014 auction for ₹4.50 cr. 16 matches, 379 runs and 5 wickets; champions in 2015.
2017, Delhi Daredevils. Bought at the 2017 auction for ₹1 cr. 11 matches, 142 runs and 3 wickets.
2018, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Arrived outside the auction. 3 matches, 17 runs and 3 wickets.
3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Mumbai Indians, 2014 to 2015. 2016 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.
Bat, ball and method
Across the career, Corey Anderson struck at 127.2. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 131.5, so Corey Anderson scored about 4 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 64% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 40 fours and 31 sixes.
With the ball, 11 wickets in 297 deliveries, at 10.46 runs an over against a league rate of 8.18 for the same seasons: 2.28 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.
The fielding record: 11 catches.
At the auction
Corey Anderson went under the hammer five times, bought twice and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹4.50 cr, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2014, more than 4 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2017, cost ₹1 cr.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Corey Anderson made 30 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2018, and won 3 player-of-the-match awards.
