From CricArcade's IPL records, 2020 to 2020 · Sources

James Pattinson, a bowler, spent a single IPL season with Mumbai Indians, 2020: 10 matches, 15 runs, 11 wickets, and a winner's medal when Mumbai Indians took the title.

The arrival

James Pattinson's first IPL season was 2020, with Mumbai Indians, a signing made outside the auction. That debut came after going unsold twice (2014 and 2016).

That first season brought 10 matches, 15 runs and 11 wickets at 9.01 an over, and ended with Mumbai Indians as champions.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 11 wickets in 213 deliveries, at 9.01 runs an over against a league rate of 8.14 for the same seasons: 0.88 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.

The fielding record: 2 catches.

At the auction

James Pattinson went under the hammer three times, bought once and left unsold twice. The price was ₹45 lakh (US$100k), paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2011.

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

The legacy

James Pattinson made 10 IPL appearances, the last for Mumbai Indians in 2020.
