On scorecards: JA Richardson · Right-hand bat
Jhye Richardson, a bowler, played two IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Jhye Richardson arrived through the auction: Punjab Kings paid ₹14.0 cr, against a base price of ₹1.5 cr.
That first season brought 3 matches, 15 runs and 3 wickets at 10.64 an over.
Franchise by franchise
2021, Punjab Kings. Bought at the 2021 auction for ₹14.0 cr. 3 matches, 15 runs and 3 wickets.
2024, Delhi Capitals. Bought at the 2024 auction for ₹5.0 cr. 1 match and 2 runs.
2022 and 2023 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.
In the field
The fielding record: 1 catch.
At the auction
Jhye Richardson went under the hammer five times, bought three times and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹14.0 cr, paid by Punjab Kings in 2021, more than 9 times the base price. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2024, cost ₹5.0 cr. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Mumbai Indians in 2023.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Jhye Richardson made 4 IPL appearances, the last for Delhi Capitals in 2024.
