From CricArcade's IPL records, 2011 to 2021 · Sources

Shahbaz Nadeem, a bowler, played eleven IPL seasons for two franchises. In eleven seasons the title never came.

The arrival

Shahbaz Nadeem's first IPL season was 2011, with Delhi Daredevils, a signing made outside the auction.

That first season brought 5 matches and 4 wickets at 7.47 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2013, for Delhi Daredevils: 9 wickets at 5.89 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 7.51, with best figures of 2 for 17.

Franchise by franchise

2011 to 2018, Delhi Daredevils. 61 matches and 40 wickets.

2019 to 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Arrived outside the auction. 11 matches and 8 wickets.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Delhi Daredevils, 2011 to 2018.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 48 wickets in 1,419 deliveries, at 7.54 runs an over against a league rate of 7.88 for the same seasons: 0.34 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time.

32% of the balls Shahbaz Nadeem bowled were dots, a lower share than 83% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 29.5 balls.

The fielding record: 11 catches and 4 run-outs.

At the auction

Shahbaz Nadeem went under the hammer four times, bought three times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹3.20 cr, paid by Delhi Daredevils in 2018, more than 8 times the base price. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Lucknow Super Giants in 2022.

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

The legacy

Shahbaz Nadeem made 72 IPL appearances, the last for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2021, and won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
