From CricArcade's IPL records, 2009 to 2013 · Sources

Dirk Nannes, a bowler, played four IPL seasons for three franchises.

The arrival

Dirk Nannes's first IPL season was 2009, with Delhi Daredevils, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 13 matches and 15 wickets at 7.52 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.

The peak

The best season was 2009, for Delhi Daredevils: 15 wickets at 7.52 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.28, with best figures of 3 for 27.

Franchise by franchise

2009 to 2010, Delhi Daredevils. 22 matches and 22 wickets.

2011, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bought at the 2011 auction for ₹2.92 cr. 2 matches and 2 wickets.

2013, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2013 auction for ₹3.24 cr. 5 matches and 4 wickets.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Delhi Daredevils, 2009 to 2010. 2012 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 28 wickets in 650 deliveries, at 7.25 runs an over against a league rate of 7.53 for the same seasons: 0.29 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.

44.1% of the balls Dirk Nannes bowled were dots, a higher share than 98% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 23.1 balls.

The fielding record: 8 catches and 2 run-outs.

At the auction

Dirk Nannes went under the hammer four times, bought twice and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹3.24 cr (US$600k), paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2013, more than 3 times the base price.

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

The legacy

Dirk Nannes made 29 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2013, and won 1 player-of-the-match award.
