Prasanth Parameswaran
On scorecards: P Parameswaran · Right-hand bat
Prasanth Parameswaran, a bowler, played two IPL seasons for two franchises.
The arrival
Prasanth Parameswaran's first IPL season was 2011, with Kochi Tuskers Kerala, a signing made outside the auction.
That first season brought 5 matches, 1 run and 4 wickets at 8.65 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2012, for Royal Challengers Bangalore: 5 wickets at 8.70 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.64, with best figures of 3 for 30.
Franchise by franchise
2011, Kochi Tuskers Kerala. 5 matches and 4 wickets.
2012, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Arrived outside the auction. 3 matches and 5 wickets.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 9 wickets in 155 deliveries, at 8.67 runs an over against a league rate of 7.56 for the same seasons: 1.11 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often.
At the auction
Prasanth Parameswaran went under the hammer once. The price was ₹30 lakh, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Prasanth Parameswaran made 8 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2012, and won 1 player-of-the-match award.
