From CricArcade's IPL records, 2008 to 2011 · Sources

Scott Styris, a bowler, played three IPL seasons for two franchises. Two titles came along the way.

The arrival

Scott Styris arrived through the auction: Deccan Chargers paid ₹70 lakh (US$175k), the base price, at the very first IPL auction.

That first season brought 8 matches, 112 runs and 3 wickets at 7.37 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2009, for Deccan Chargers: 5 wickets at 8.00 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.28, with best figures of 3 for 32. Deccan Chargers won the title that year.

Franchise by franchise

2008 to 2009, Deccan Chargers. Bought at the 2008 auction for ₹70 lakh. 10 matches, 126 runs and 8 wickets; champions in 2009.

2011, Chennai Super Kings. Bought at the 2011 auction for ₹90 lakh. 2 matches and 5 runs; champions in 2011.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Deccan Chargers, 2008 to 2009. 2010 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 8 wickets in 216 deliveries, at 7.67 runs an over against a league rate of 7.86 for the same seasons: 0.20 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.

The fielding record: 2 catches and 2 run-outs.

At the auction

Scott Styris went under the hammer twice. The highest price was ₹90 lakh (US$200k), paid by Chennai Super Kings in 2011.

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

The legacy

Scott Styris made 12 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2011.
