Ashton Turner IPL stats tell the story of a proven overseas finisher who has barely had a chance to bat in the league. Across two short stints, for Rajasthan Royals in 2019 and Lucknow Super Giants in 2024, Turner has played only six IPL matches and scored 24 runs. His highest score is 16, made against Kolkata Knight Riders in May 2024. Those numbers sit in sharp contrast to his reputation in Australian domestic cricket, where he has captained Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League and built a career as a middle-order batter who closes out innings.
Turner arrived in the IPL with a strong domestic record and an eye-catching ODI innings of 84 not out against India in March 2019, yet his IPL opportunities never matched the billing. Three consecutive ducks in 2019 left him without a foothold, and a two-match return for Lucknow in 2024 was too brief to change the picture. He did not feature in IPL 2025 or IPL 2026, and as of 14 October 2026 he has no confirmed IPL team or price for 2027. This page sets out his verified IPL record season by season, along with his auction history and current status.

Who Is Ashton Turner?
Ashton James Turner was born on 25 January 1993 in Perth, Western Australia. He is an Australian middle-order batter who bowls right-arm off-break, and he has represented Australia in nine ODIs and 19 T20Is. Turner came through Western Australia’s age-group sides and debuted for his state during the 2012-13 season. He has been a long-serving Perth Scorchers player in the Big Bash League, where he has also captained the side, and he first made his name as a finisher who could clear the boundary late in an innings.
His international breakthrough came in March 2019, when his unbeaten 84 against India helped Australia chase down 359 in an ODI. That innings arrived in the same year as his IPL debut, and it explains why Rajasthan Royals took a chance on him at the 2019 auction. Turner has since played franchise cricket in England and Pakistan, including stints with Durham, Manchester Originals, London Spirit, Lancashire, Leicestershire and Multan Sultans. In the IPL, though, his story is one of very limited opportunity: six matches spread across two seasons, five years apart.
Ashton Turner IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | Rajasthan Royals | Played 4 matches |
| 2024 | Lucknow Super Giants | Played 2 matches |

| 2026 | No team | Did not feature in the IPL |

Turner’s IPL journey has two distinct chapters. Rajasthan Royals bought him for Rs 50 lakh at the 2019 auction, but four matches brought three ducks and three runs, and he was released after that season. He spent four years out of the league before Lucknow Super Giants picked him up for Rs 1 crore at the 2024 mini-auction, where he played two matches alongside Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis. Lucknow released him before the 2025 season, he went unsold at the 2025 mega auction at a base price of Rs 1 crore, and he did not feature in IPL 2026.

Turner’s 2024 return was brief but at least showed some of his hitting. He scored 5 off 9 balls against Mumbai Indians on 30 April 2024, then 16 off 9 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders on 5 May 2024, striking two sixes in the second of those innings. Across the two matches he faced 18 balls and scored at a strike rate of 116.67. Two appearances gave no real chance to build an innings or a role, and Lucknow did not retain him for the following season.

Ashton Turner IPL Highest Score
Ashton Turner’s IPL highest score is 16, made off 9 balls for Lucknow Super Giants against Kolkata Knight Riders at Lucknow on 5 May 2024. He struck two sixes in that innings before being caught and bowled by Varun Chakaravarthy. It remains his only double-figure score in the IPL. His next-best is 5, made against Mumbai Indians five days earlier, and his only other scoring innings was 3 not out against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019.
Ashton Turner IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Turner has not taken a wicket in the IPL because he has not bowled a ball in the competition. Despite being a capable right-arm off-break bowler in other formats, neither Rajasthan Royals nor Lucknow Super Giants used him as a bowling option in his six IPL appearances. He therefore has no IPL best bowling figures.
Ashton Turner IPL Batting Records
Turner holds no IPL batting records. He has no fifties or centuries in the league, has never reached 20 in an IPL innings, and has yet to hit a four in the competition – his only two boundaries in the IPL are sixes. His IPL record is best read as an unfinished one: six matches is too small a sample to judge a batter of his domestic standing.

Ashton Turner IPL Records and Achievements
Turner has no IPL records or landmark achievements to date. His six-match IPL career contains no fifty, no match-winning innings and no bowling contribution. His achievements in the game sit outside the IPL: captaining Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League, a long Western Australia career, and the unbeaten 84 against India in March 2019 that remains the best-known innings of his international career.
Ashton Turner’s IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers describe a player who never got a run of games. In 2019, Turner walked into a Rajasthan side mid-season and faced just ten balls across four matches: three first-ball ducks and a 3 not out. A batter picked as a finisher cannot show anything from ten balls, and the three ducks, fairly or not, defined that stint. He was released and spent four seasons out of the league.
The 2024 comeback was only marginally longer. Two matches for Lucknow produced 21 runs at a strike rate of 116.67, including the two sixes against Kolkata Knight Riders that showed the clean hitting he is known for in the Big Bash League. But two innings still amount to 18 balls, and no batter can be judged on that. Notably, neither franchise ever asked him to bowl, which removed one route to a regular place in the side.
Standing back, the gap between Turner’s domestic and IPL records is the whole story. He has been a trusted middle-order batter and captain for Perth Scorchers, yet in the IPL he has faced 28 balls in total across six matches. His strike rate of 85.71 and average of 4.80 reflect a handful of brief, low-scoring visits to the crease rather than a settled role. For 2027, the honest position is that he is outside the league and would need a franchise to back him at auction before any of this can change.
