Right-hand bat
Sohail Tanvir, a bowler, spent a single IPL season with Rajasthan Royals, 2008: 11 matches, 36 runs, 22 wickets, and a winner's medal when Rajasthan Royals took the title.
The arrival
Sohail Tanvir arrived through the auction: Rajasthan Royals paid ₹40 lakh (US$100k), at the very first IPL auction.
That first season brought 11 matches, 36 runs and 22 wickets at 6.44 an over, and ended with Rajasthan Royals as champions.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 22 wickets in 248 deliveries, at 6.44 runs an over against a league rate of 8.05 for the same seasons: 1.62 an over cheaper than the typical bowler of the time, the mark of a bowler who kept things tight. There were two four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 6 for 14.
The fielding record: 4 catches and 3 run-outs.
At the auction
Sohail Tanvir went under the hammer twice, bought once and left unsold once. The price was ₹40 lakh (US$100k), paid by Rajasthan Royals in 2008.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Sohail Tanvir made 11 IPL appearances, the last for Rajasthan Royals in 2008, and won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
