Shakib Al Hasan, an all-rounder, played nine IPL seasons for two franchises. Two titles came along the way.

The arrival

Shakib Al Hasan arrived through the auction: Kolkata Knight Riders paid ₹1.91 cr (US$425k), against a base price of ₹90 lakh. That debut came after going unsold twice (2009 and 2010).

That first season brought 7 matches, 29 runs and 11 wickets at 6.86 an over.

The peak

The best season was 2018, for Sunrisers Hyderabad: 14 wickets at 8.00 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.50, with best figures of 2 for 18.

Franchise by franchise

2011 to 2017, Kolkata Knight Riders. Bought at the 2011 auction for ₹1.91 cr. 43 matches, 500 runs and 43 wickets; champions in 2012 and 2014.

2018 to 2019, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bought at the 2018 auction for ₹2.0 cr. 20 matches, 248 runs and 16 wickets.

2021, Kolkata Knight Riders, second time round. Bought at the 2021 auction for ₹3.2 cr. 8 matches and 4 wickets.

3 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Kolkata Knight Riders, 2011 to 2017. 2013 and 2020 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 63 wickets in 1,484 deliveries, at 7.44 runs an over against a league rate of 8.05 for the same seasons: 0.61 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight.

34% of the balls Shakib Al Hasan bowled were dots, a lower share than 58% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 23.6 balls.

The fielding record: 13 catches and 7 run-outs.

At the auction

Shakib Al Hasan went under the hammer nine times, bought five times and left unsold four times. The highest price was ₹3.2 cr, paid by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2021. Unsold in 2009, Shakib Al Hasan was bought in 2011 by Kolkata Knight Riders. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2023.

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

The legacy

Shakib Al Hasan made 71 IPL appearances, the last for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2021, and won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
