From CricArcade's IPL records, 2008 to 2010 · Sources

Matthew Hayden, a batter, played three IPL seasons, all of them with Chennai Super Kings. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Matthew Hayden arrived through the auction: Chennai Super Kings paid ₹1.50 cr (US$375k), against a base price of ₹90 lakh, at the very first IPL auction.

That first season brought 4 matches and 189 runs. The best was still to come.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2009, for Chennai Super Kings: 572 runs at an average of 52.0, striking at 144.8 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 116.9, with 5 fifties, and a highest score of 89.

One franchise

Matthew Hayden spent the whole IPL career with Chennai Super Kings, from 2008 to 2010. The club won the title with Matthew Hayden in the side: 2010.

How the runs came

Across the career, Matthew Hayden struck at 137.4. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 122.4, so Matthew Hayden scored about 15 runs per hundred balls faster than the typical batter of the time. 68% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 121 fours and 44 sixes.

The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 41.2% of the balls Matthew Hayden faced were dot balls, a higher share than 83% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 18.3 balls, and a four every 6.7.

The fielding record: 11 catches and 3 run-outs.

At the auction

Matthew Hayden went under the hammer once. The price was ₹1.50 cr (US$375k), paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2008.

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

The legacy

Matthew Hayden made 32 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2010, and won 4 player-of-the-match awards.
