Kane Richardson, a bowler, played four IPL seasons for three franchises.

The arrival

Kane Richardson arrived through the auction: Pune Warriors paid ₹3.78 cr (US$700k), against a base price of ₹54 lakh.

That first season brought 3 matches, 34 runs and 2 wickets at 8.54 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2014, for Rajasthan Royals: 9 wickets at 7.63 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.98, with best figures of 2 for 18.

Franchise by franchise

2013, Pune Warriors. Bought at the 2013 auction for ₹3.78 cr. 3 matches and 2 wickets.

2014, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2014 auction for ₹1 cr. 7 matches and 9 wickets.

2016 to 2021, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bought at the 2016 auction for ₹2 cr. 5 matches and 8 wickets.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Royal Challengers Bangalore, 2016 to 2021. 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 19 wickets in 335 deliveries, at 8.45 runs an over against a league rate of 7.92 for the same seasons: 0.54 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.

The fielding record: 5 catches and 1 run-out.

At the auction

Kane Richardson went under the hammer six times, bought four times and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹4 cr, paid by Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2020. Unsold in 2019, Kane Richardson was bought again in 2020 by Royal Challengers Bangalore. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2020.

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

The legacy

Kane Richardson made 15 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2021.
