Manish Pandey, the first Indian batsman to score a century in the IPL, is one of the league's most stylish yet unorthodox batsman right now. The Karnataka batsman has yet to see much action at the international level, but he has been a mainstay in the limited overs side for the past four to five years.
Manish Pandey has subsequently been an indispensable part of the Karnataka state team. In 2009–10, he scored 882 runs in Ranji and led the league in that category. His 63 batting average was supported by four hundred and five fifties, demonstrating his reliability and hunger for runs.
Manish Pandey has an outstanding batting average of 52.00, scoring 6293 runs in 89 First-class matches, including 19 hundreds and 29 half-centuries.
After winning the Under-19 World Cup in 2008, Manish Pandey was soon chosen by the stacked Mumbai Indians. He left the team since he wasn't given many chances, and then he had a breakout season with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He played for the team in IPL Season 3 but was cut before the following year's competition because of his lacklustre play.
When Kolkata Knight Riders signed Manish Pandey in 2014, it was like someone injected him with the elixir of youth. The Karnataka batsman has a history of delivering clutch performances in crucial games, and he did just that in the IPL finals when his superb 94-run inning helped KKR win their second IPL title and overshadowed Wriddhiman Saha's hundred. However, his performance kept declining and KKR released him. After that, he was quickly picked up by the Sunrisers Hyderabad and performed admirably. In the IPL 2023 Auction, his service was acquired by the Delhi franchise for 2.40 crores.
