Rajagopal Sathish, a batter, played four IPL seasons for three franchises.

The arrival

Rajagopal Sathish's first IPL season was 2010, with Mumbai Indians, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 12 matches, 112 runs and 2 wickets.

The peak

The high point with the bat was 2010, for Mumbai Indians: 112 runs at an average of 16.0, striking at 116.7 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 127.0, and a highest score of 24.

Franchise by franchise

2010 to 2011, Mumbai Indians. 21 matches, 137 runs and 2 wickets.

2013, Kings XI Punjab. Arrived outside the auction. 9 matches and 109 runs.

2016, Kolkata Knight Riders. Bought at the 2016 auction for ₹20 lakh. 4 matches, 24 runs and 1 wicket.

3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Mumbai Indians, 2010 to 2011. 2012, 2014 and 2015 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.

Bat, ball and method

Across the career, Rajagopal Sathish struck at 116.9. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 124.7, so Rajagopal Sathish scored about 8 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 46% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 22 fours and 6 sixes.

With the ball, 3 wickets in 139 deliveries, at 10.01 runs an over against a league rate of 7.81 for the same seasons: 2.20 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 8 catches and 7 run-outs.

At the auction

Rajagopal Sathish went under the hammer once. The price was ₹20 lakh, paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2016.

Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.

The legacy

Rajagopal Sathish made 34 IPL appearances, the last for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2016.
