Career-to-date through the 2008 season, from ball-by-ball match data.
Every T20 and T20 international in our match archive, not only the IPL or WPL. Men's domestic T20 is included; Indian domestic women's T20 is not in the data.
Where this comes from and how current it is. Match records are from Cricsheet, a free ball-by-ball archive. Ours runs to 25 October 2026. It refreshes by itself every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, so matches from the last few days may not be in yet. The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is only partly covered: seasons 2015/16 and 2017/18 to 2024/25, about 58% of its matches, and nothing after December 2024. Indian domestic women’s T20 is not covered at all. A match missing here does not mean the player did not play it.

Not in the active pool (no contract or recent season), so this is priced from their last record: low confidence.
Recent form lifts this from #160 on contracts alone.
An estimate of the market price, not a promise. How it is built and how accurate it was is on the Predictor page.
Auctioned in US dollars; the rupee figure is converted at the 2008 average rate.
