In the 2016 IPL season, KC Cariappa had a mix of performances, but here are the top three notable stats that stand out:
Best Bowling Figures: His best bowling performance came in the match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 18, 2016, where he recorded figures of 0 wickets for 55 runs in 3 overs. Although it wasn't an impressive outing, these figures highlight his experience in high-pressure matches against established teams.
Total Wickets: Throughout the tournament, Cariappa managed to take a total of 3 wickets across the matches he played. While this placed him further down in the rankings for bowlers, it still indicates that he contributed to the team in a limited capacity.
Highest Score: With the bat, his highest contribution was a score of 12 runs off 8 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore on May 18, 2016. This moment shows his potential as a lower-order batsman, even though he had a limited overall batting impact in the tournament.
These stats reflect both his bowling and batting contributions, where he faced challenges but also moments of potential that defined his role in the 2016 IPL season.
