Ryan McLaren, a bowler, played three IPL seasons for three franchises.

The arrival

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

That first season brought 10 matches, 66 runs and 4 wickets at 7.90 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2011, for Kings XI Punjab: 5 wickets at 9.71 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.51, with best figures of 2 for 33.
