Manish Pandey was a part of Mumbai Indian's squad in the inaugural edition. He was released the subsequent year and was picked by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the next auction.

He hogged into the limelight when he smashed a brilliant ton against Deccan Chargers Hyderabad in the 2009 edition. He was the first Indian to score an IPL ton.

He later moved on to be the part of Pune Warriors India and was roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2014 edition. He was consistent with the bat and scored 401 runs from 16 matches in the 2014 edition.

His innings of prominence, however, came in the finals. The Karnataka batsmen had then scored a valiant 50 balls 94 which had helped Kolkata recover from a bad start and emerge victorious in the final.

Pandey has scored 1270 runs for KKR in 55 matches.
