In the 2011 IPL season, Anand Rajan showcased his talent as a bowler, though his stats indicate some areas for improvement. Here are the top three stats that define his performance that year:
Total Wickets: Anand Rajan took a total of 3 wickets in the tournament, placing him at position 20 among bowlers for wicket-taking at that time. This indicates his ability to make significant contributions to his team's bowling efforts, although the wicket tally suggests he had limited opportunities.
Best Bowling Figures: His best bowling performance in a single match was 0/23, showcasing his potential to contain runs but also reflecting the challenges he faced in claiming wickets. He achieved this figure in the 67th match against Kings XI Punjab, where he bowled 2 overs.
Total Runs Conceded: Anand Rajan conceded a total of 50 runs over the course of the tournament, which ranks him at position 77 among bowlers. This statistic indicates that while he was utilized as a bowler, he struggled with run economy, contributing to higher totals against his team.
These statistics illustrate a young player still finding his footing in the IPL, showing flashes of skill but also facing challenges in terms of wicket-taking and run control.
