From CricArcade's IPL records, 2008 to 2018 · Sources

Manoj Tiwary, a batter, played ten IPL seasons for four franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Manoj Tiwary arrived through the auction: Delhi Daredevils paid ₹2.70 cr (US$675k), against a base price of ₹40 lakh, at the very first IPL auction.

That first season brought 9 matches and 104 runs. The best was still to come.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2011, for Kolkata Knight Riders: 359 runs at an average of 51.3, striking at 110.5 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 121.0, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 61 not out.

Franchise by franchise

2008 to 2009, Delhi Daredevils. Bought at the 2008 auction for ₹2.70 cr. 11 matches and 113 runs.

2010 to 2013, Kolkata Knight Riders. Arrived outside the auction. 54 matches, 1,002 runs and 1 wicket; champions in 2012.

2014 to 2015, Delhi Daredevils, second time round. Bought at the 2014 auction for ₹2.80 cr. 13 matches and 209 runs.

2017, Rising Pune Supergiant. Bought at the 2017 auction for ₹50 lakh. 15 matches and 324 runs.

2018, Kings XI Punjab. Bought at the 2018 auction for ₹1 cr. 5 matches and 47 runs.

5 spells with four franchises in all. The longest was with Kolkata Knight Riders, 2010 to 2013. 2016 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the runs came

Across the career, Manoj Tiwary struck at 117.0. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 126.3, so Manoj Tiwary scored about 9 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time, a trade usually made for longer innings. 51% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 156 fours and 40 sixes.

The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 36.6% of the balls Manoj Tiwary faced were dot balls, a higher share than 57% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 36.2 balls, and a four every 9.3.

The fielding record: 47 catches and 3 run-outs.

At the auction

Manoj Tiwary went under the hammer eight times, bought five times and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹2.80 cr, paid by Delhi Daredevils in 2014. The market cooled over time: the last purchase, in 2018, cost ₹1 cr. Unsold in 2016, Manoj Tiwary was bought again in 2017 by Rising Pune Supergiant.

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

The legacy

Manoj Tiwary made 98 IPL appearances, the last for Kings XI Punjab in 2018, and won 3 player-of-the-match awards.
