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.

Retentions, trades and releases
How this player arrived at (or left) a team when it was not an auction. A retention is a negotiated salary capped by the retention rules — it is not an auction price, and the two are not comparable.

Not in the active pool (no contract or recent season), so this is priced from their last record: low confidence.
