Siddarth Kaul
On scorecards: S Kaul · Right-hand bat
Siddarth Kaul, a bowler, played eight IPL seasons for three franchises. In eight seasons the title never came.
The arrival
Siddarth Kaul's first IPL season was 2013, with Delhi Daredevils, a signing made outside the auction.
That first season brought 6 matches, 7 runs and 4 wickets at 7.79 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2018, for Sunrisers Hyderabad: 21 wickets at 8.27 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.50, with best figures of 3 for 23. Two seasons brought 15 wickets or more (2017 and 2018).
Franchise by franchise
2013 to 2014, Delhi Daredevils. 11 matches and 6 wickets.
2017 to 2021, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Arrived outside the auction. 43 matches and 52 wickets.
2022, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹75 lakh. 1 match.
3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Sunrisers Hyderabad, 2017 to 2021. 2015 and 2016 are missing from the record: seasons without an IPL appearance.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 58 wickets in 1,215 deliveries, at 8.59 runs an over against a league rate of 8.18 for the same seasons: 0.41 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 29.
32% of the balls Siddarth Kaul bowled were dots, a lower share than 83% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 20.8 balls.
The fielding record: 8 catches.
At the auction
Siddarth Kaul went under the hammer six times, bought four times and left unsold twice. The highest price was ₹3.8 cr, paid by Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2018, more than 12 times the base price. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2015.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Siddarth Kaul made 55 IPL appearances, the last for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2022.
