Mayank Dagar
Right-hand bat
Mayank Dagar, a bowler, played two IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Mayank Dagar arrived through the auction: Sunrisers Hyderabad paid ₹1.80 cr, against a base price of ₹20 lakh. That debut came after going unsold once (2022).
That first season brought 3 matches and 1 wicket at 7.55 an over.
Franchise by franchise
2023, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2023 auction for ₹1.80 cr. 3 matches and 1 wicket.
2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Arrived outside the auction. 5 matches and 1 wicket.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 2 wickets in 137 deliveries, at 8.89 runs an over against a league rate of 9.09 for the same seasons: 0.20 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.
The fielding record: 3 catches.
At the auction
Mayank Dagar went under the hammer five times, bought twice and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹1.80 cr, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2023, more than 9 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹20 lakh in 2018, ₹1.80 cr by 2023. Unsold in 2022, Mayank Dagar was bought again in 2023 by Sunrisers Hyderabad. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kings XI Punjab in 2018.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Mayank Dagar made 8 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2024.
