From CricArcade's IPL records, 2008 to 2012 · Sources

VY Mahesh, a bowler, played four IPL seasons for two franchises.

The arrival

VY Mahesh was there from the start, in the league's first season, 2008, signed by Delhi Daredevils outside the auction.

That first season brought 11 matches, 15 runs and 16 wickets at 8.54 an over. It would stay the best season of the career with the ball.

The peak

The best season was 2008, for Delhi Daredevils: 16 wickets at 8.54 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.05, with best figures of 4 for 36.

Franchise by franchise

2008 to 2010, Delhi Daredevils. 13 matches and 18 wickets.

2012, Chennai Super Kings. Arrived outside the auction. 4 matches and 3 wickets.

2 spells with two franchises in all. The longest was with Delhi Daredevils, 2008 to 2010. 2011 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.

How the wickets came

With the ball, 21 wickets in 346 deliveries, at 8.65 runs an over against a league rate of 7.95 for the same seasons: 0.70 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There was one four-wicket haul, and the best figures were 4 for 36.

The fielding record: 6 catches.

The legacy

VY Mahesh made 17 IPL appearances, the last for Chennai Super Kings in 2012.
