From CricArcade's IPL records, 2013 to 2015 · Sources

Ishwar Pandey, a bowler, played three IPL seasons for two franchises.

The arrival

Ishwar Pandey's first IPL season was 2013, with Pune Warriors, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 2 matches and 1 wicket.

The peak

The best season was 2015, for Chennai Super Kings: 11 wickets at 7.19 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.19, with best figures of 2 for 27.

Franchise by franchise

2013, Pune Warriors. 2 matches and 1 wicket.

2014 to 2015, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2014 auction for ₹1.50 cr. 23 matches and 17 wickets.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Chennai Super Kings, 2014 to 2015.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 18 wickets in 464 deliveries, at 7.64 runs an over against a league rate of 8.04 for the same seasons: 0.40 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 6 catches.

At the auction

Ishwar Pandey went under the hammer twice. The highest price was ₹1.50 cr, paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2014, more than 15 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2016, cost ₹20 lakh. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Rising Pune Supergiants in 2016.

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

The legacy

Ishwar Pandey made 25 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2015.
