From CricArcade's IPL records, 2008 to 2013 · Sources

Debabrata Das, a batter, played three IPL seasons, all of them with Kolkata Knight Riders. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Debabrata Das was there from the start, in the league's first season, 2008, signed by Kolkata Knight Riders outside the auction.

That first season brought 6 matches and 103 runs.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2012, for Kolkata Knight Riders: 126 runs at an average of 42.0, striking at 135.5 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 123.7, and a highest score of 35 not out. Kolkata Knight Riders won the title that year.

One franchise

Debabrata Das spent the whole IPL career with Kolkata Knight Riders, from 2008 to 2013, although 2009, 2010 and 2011 passed without an appearance. Kolkata Knight Riders bought Debabrata Das at the auction in 2014 for ₹20 lakh. The club won the title with Debabrata Das in the side: 2012.

How the runs came

Across the career, Debabrata Das struck at 116.5. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 125.0, so Debabrata Das scored about 9 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 62% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 23 fours and 16 sixes.

The fielding record: 7 catches and 2 run-outs.

At the auction

Debabrata Das went under the hammer once. The price was ₹20 lakh, paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014.

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

The legacy

Debabrata Das made 31 IPL appearances, the last for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2013.
