Parthiv Patel
On scorecards: PA Patel · Right-hand bat
Parthiv Patel, a wicketkeeper-batter, played twelve IPL seasons for six franchises. Three titles came along the way. Only five players have represented more franchises.
The arrival
Parthiv Patel arrived through the auction: Chennai Super Kings paid ₹1.30 cr (US$325k), against a base price of ₹60 lakh, at the very first IPL auction.
That first season brought 13 matches and 302 runs.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2017, for Mumbai Indians: 395 runs at an average of 24.7, striking at 134.8 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 133.4, with 2 fifties, and a highest score of 70. Mumbai Indians won the title that year.

7 spells with six franchises in all. The longest was with Chennai Super Kings, 2008 to 2010.
How the runs came
Across the career, Parthiv Patel struck at 120.8. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 128.5, so Parthiv Patel scored about 8 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time, a trade usually made for longer innings. 62% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 365 fours and 49 sixes.
The ball-by-ball record adds the detail. 42.1% of the balls Parthiv Patel faced were dot balls, a higher share than 88% of the 140 batters who have faced 500 balls or more in the IPL. A six came every 48.1 balls, and a four every 6.5.
The fielding record: 69 catches, 26 run-outs and 16 stumpings, the stumpings a reminder of the gloves.
At the auction
Parthiv Patel went under the hammer five times. The highest price was ₹3.25 cr (US$650k), paid by Deccan Chargers in 2012, more than 3 times the base price.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Parthiv Patel made 139 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2019, and won 5 player-of-the-match awards.
