Mayank Markande
On scorecards: M Markande · Right-hand bat
Mayank Markande, a bowler, has played seven IPL seasons for three franchises. One title came along the way.
The arrival
Mayank Markande arrived through the auction: Mumbai Indians paid ₹20 lakh, the base price.
That first season brought 14 matches, 21 runs and 15 wickets at 8.36 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.
The peak
The best season was 2018, for Mumbai Indians: 15 wickets at 8.36 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.50, with best figures of 4 for 23.
Franchise by franchise
2018 to 2019, Mumbai Indians. Bought at the 2018 auction for ₹20 lakh. 17 matches and 16 wickets; champions in 2019.
2021, Rajasthan Royals. Arrived outside the auction. 1 match.
2022, Mumbai Indians, second time round. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹65 lakh. 2 matches and 1 wicket.

2026, Mumbai Indians, second time round. Back outside the auction. 3 matches.
5 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Mumbai Indians, 2018 to 2019. 2020 and 2025 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 37 wickets in 751 deliveries, at 9.15 runs an over against a league rate of 8.76 for the same seasons: 0.39 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time. There were two four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 4 for 15.
28.7% of the balls Mayank Markande bowled were dots, a lower share than 95% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 20.3 balls.
The fielding record: 8 catches.
At the auction
Mayank Markande has gone under the hammer four times. The highest price was ₹65 lakh, paid by Mumbai Indians in 2022. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2025.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
Mayank Markande has made 40 IPL appearances, the latest for Mumbai Indians in 2026.
