Jason Behrendorff
On scorecards: JP Behrendorff · Right-hand bat
Jason Behrendorff, a bowler, played two IPL seasons, both with Mumbai Indians. One title came along the way.
The arrival
Jason Behrendorff's first IPL season was 2019, with Mumbai Indians, a signing made outside the auction. That debut came after going unsold once (2014).
That first season brought 5 matches and 5 wickets at 8.68 an over, and ended with Mumbai Indians as champions.
The peak
The best season was 2023, for Mumbai Indians: 14 wickets at 9.21 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.80, with best figures of 3 for 23.
One franchise
Jason Behrendorff spent the whole IPL career with Mumbai Indians, from 2019 to 2023, although 2020, 2021 and 2022 passed without an appearance. Mumbai Indians bought Jason Behrendorff at the auction in 2018 for ₹1.5 cr. The club won the title with Jason Behrendorff in the side: 2019.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 19 wickets in 366 deliveries, at 9.05 runs an over against a league rate of 8.62 for the same seasons: 0.43 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
Jason Behrendorff went under the hammer six times, bought twice and left unsold four times. The highest price was ₹1.5 cr, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2018. Unsold in 2014, Jason Behrendorff was bought in 2018 by Mumbai Indians. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Mumbai Indians in 2018 and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Jason Behrendorff made 17 IPL appearances, the last for Mumbai Indians in 2023.
