Dilhara Fernando, a bowler, played two IPL seasons, both with Mumbai Indians.

The arrival

Dilhara Fernando arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹60 lakh (US$150k), the base price, at the very first IPL auction.

That first season brought 5 matches, 2 runs and 10 wickets at 7.93 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.

The peak

The best season was 2008, for Mumbai Indians: 10 wickets at 7.93 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.05, with best figures of 4 for 18.

One franchise

Dilhara Fernando spent the whole IPL career with Mumbai Indians, from 2008 to 2010, although 2009 passed without an appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 17 wickets in 238 deliveries, at 7.51 runs an over against a league rate of 7.98 for the same seasons: 0.47 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 18.

The fielding record: 2 catches and 1 run-out.

At the auction

Dilhara Fernando went under the hammer once. The price was ₹60 lakh (US$150k), paid by Mumbai Indians in 2008.

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

The legacy
