Matthew Wade, a wicketkeeper-batter, played three IPL seasons for two franchises. One title came along the way.

The arrival

Matthew Wade arrived through the auction: Delhi Daredevils paid ₹45 lakh (US$100k), the base price.

That first season brought 3 matches and 22 runs.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2022, for Gujarat Titans: 157 runs at an average of 15.7, striking at 113.8 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 134.2, and a highest score of 35. Gujarat Titans won the title that year.

Matthew Wade went under the hammer five times, bought twice and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹2.40 cr, paid by Gujarat Titans in 2022.
