John Hastings
On scorecards: JW Hastings · Right-hand bat
John Hastings played two IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
John Hastings arrived through the auction: Chennai Super Kings paid ₹50 lakh, the base price. That debut came after going unsold twice (2012 and 2013).
That first season brought 1 match and 1 wicket.
Franchise by franchise
2014, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2014 auction for ₹50 lakh. 1 match and 1 wicket.
2016, Kolkata Knight Riders. Bought at the 2016 auction for ₹1.3 cr. 2 matches and 2 wickets.
2015 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.
At the auction
John Hastings went under the hammer five times, bought three times and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹1.3 cr, paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2016. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹9 lakh in 2011, ₹1.3 cr by 2016. Unsold in 2012, John Hastings was bought again in 2014 by Chennai Super Kings. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kochi Tuskers Kerala in 2011.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
John Hastings made 3 IPL appearances, the last for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2016.
