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

Fidel Edwards, a bowler, spent a single IPL season with Deccan Chargers, 2009: 6 matches, 4 runs, 5 wickets, and a winner's medal when Deccan Chargers took the title.

The arrival

Fidel Edwards arrived through the auction: Deccan Chargers paid ₹72 lakh (US$150k), the base price.

That first season brought 6 matches, 4 runs and 5 wickets at 6.55 an over, and ended with Deccan Chargers as champions.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 5 wickets in 141 deliveries, at 6.55 runs an over against a league rate of 7.28 for the same seasons: 0.73 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight.

At the auction

Fidel Edwards went under the hammer four times, bought twice and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹1.13 cr (US$210k), paid by Rajasthan Royals in 2013. Unsold in 2013, Fidel Edwards was bought again in 2013 by Rajasthan Royals. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Rajasthan Royals in 2013.

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

The legacy

Fidel Edwards made 6 IPL appearances, the last for Deccan Chargers in 2009.
