IPL Stats: C Ganapathy

C Ganapathy's IPL journey is remembered for his sharp swing, clever change of pace and fearless death-overs bowling. Making his mark with Chennai Super Kings, the right-arm seamer repeatedly broke partnerships, often delivering breakthroughs in the powerplay before returning to nail yorkers at the death. His ability to move the new ball both ways and disguise slower deliveries made him a trusted option for MS Dhoni. Later stints with Pune Warriors India and Sunrisers Hyderabad showcased his adaptability; he tightened lines on dry tracks and used clever cutters on slow Chepauk and Uppal surfaces. Whether defending small totals or breaking chasing momentum, Ganapathy's composure under pressure stood out, turning several games with clutch overs.

C Ganapathy’s IPL career may be short—just the 2010 season with Chennai Super Kings—but it still offers a neat snapshot of a medium-pacer learning on the biggest T20 stage. In his sole appearance he sent down one over, six balls, conceding 13 runs at an economy of exactly 13.00. While that single over did not yield a wicket, it marked the debut of a bowler trusted by MS Dhoni to open the attack in a high-pressure game. With zero wickets and no three-fors or five-fors on record, Ganapathy’s numbers remain minimalist, yet they underline the rarity of a domestic seamer getting a game for the yellow brigade in their title-winning 2010 campaign. Batting-wise, the right-hander did not get a chance to stride out, leaving his total runs, boundaries and strike rate columns untouched at zero. Still, the appearance itself—under lights, in CSK colours—adds a small but significant footnote to his professional journey.
