Few overseas players have ridden the IPL’s highs and lows quite like Kyle Jamieson. The 6’8″ New Zealander walked into the 2021 mega auction as one of the most talked-about fast bowlers in world cricket and walked out with a Rs 15 crore deal from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, one of the biggest paydays for an overseas player in IPL history. Injuries then derailed everything: a stress fracture in his back wiped out his entire 2023 season with Chennai Super Kings before he had bowled a ball for them, and he went unsold in 2024. This page covers Kyle Jamieson IPL Stats in full: his season-by-season numbers, teams, auction price history and where he stands ahead of IPL 2027.
Jamieson fought his way back into the league as a replacement signing for Punjab Kings in 2025, and Delhi Capitals bought him for his Rs 2 crore base price at the IPL 2026 mini auction. Across 15 IPL matches he has taken 16 wickets at an economy of 10.12, with best figures of 3 for 41, and his steep bounce from that towering height remains his calling card whenever he is fit and firing.

Who Is Kyle Jamieson?
Kyle Jamieson was born on 30 December 1994 in Auckland, New Zealand. Standing 6 feet 8 inches (204 cm), he is one of the tallest cricketers ever to play the game, and he uses that height to generate steep, awkward bounce. He is a right-arm fast bowler who bats right-handed in the lower order.
Jamieson rose through Auckland domestic cricket, represented New Zealand at the 2014 Under-19 World Cup, and broke into the senior side in 2020, winning Player of the Match on both his ODI and Test debuts against India. His defining international moment came in the 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final, where he took seven wickets, including a first-innings five-wicket haul, and was named Player of the Match. That form is what sent IPL franchises into a bidding frenzy for him in 2021.

Jamieson’s IPL journey has been a story of big money and bad luck. Royal Challengers Bengaluru paid Rs 15 crore for him in 2021, then released him; he sat out 2022, and MS Dhoni‘s Chennai Super Kings bought him for Rs 1 crore at the December 2022 mini auction, only for a back stress fracture to rule him out of the whole 2023 season before it began, with South Africa’s Sisanda Magala signed as his replacement. After going unsold in 2024, he returned as a Punjab Kings replacement in 2025 and then moved to Delhi Capitals at the 2026 mini auction for his Rs 2 crore base price, where he was the final player sold.
Kyle Jamieson IPL 2024 Stats
Jamieson played no IPL cricket in 2024. He went unsold at the IPL 2024 auction and was not signed as a replacement by any franchise that season, so there are no 2024 batting or bowling figures to record.

| Bowling | 15 | 147 | 5 | 3/48 | 29.40 | 9.80 |
Signed by Punjab Kings as a mid-season replacement in 2025, Jamieson played four matches and made a genuine impact with the ball. His 5 wickets came at a respectable average of 29.40, and his best spell of 3 for 48 was one of his standout IPL performances. He barely batted, finishing the season without scoring. The stint proved he could still be effective at this level when fit, and it put him back on franchises’ radars for the next auction.

Delhi Capitals bought Jamieson for his Rs 2 crore base price at the IPL 2026 mini auction in Abu Dhabi, but game time was hard to come by. With only four overseas slots available and competition from the likes of Mitchell Starc and Lungi Ngidi, he played just two matches, taking 2 wickets in 7 overs. His last IPL appearance came in May 2026 against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur. He did show his lower-order hitting is still there, striking a six in his 12 off 13 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Kyle Jamieson IPL Records and Achievements
- One of the most expensive overseas buys in IPL auction history: Rs 15 crore by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2021, after a fierce bidding war from a Rs 75 lakh base price.
- Named Player of the Match in the 2021 ICC World Test Championship Final for New Zealand, taking seven wickets including a first-innings five-wicket haul (international achievement; the form that drove his IPL auction value).
- Best IPL bowling figures of 3/41, recorded in the 2021 season.
Kyle Jamieson’s IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers tell a clear story: Jamieson’s IPL career has been defined by availability, not ability. In 2021 he bowled 28 overs across 9 games, a heavy workload for a debutant, and while his economy of 9.60 was on the expensive side, he took wickets regularly with the new ball and hit the deck hard. The back injury that followed cost him two full seasons of momentum, and he has never since had an extended run.
His 2025 comeback with Punjab Kings was the most encouraging sign: 5 wickets in 4 games at 9.80 an over showed the bounce and new-ball threat were intact. The 2026 season at Delhi Capitals was the opposite — just 2 games behind Mitchell Starc, Lungi Ngidi and the four-overseas-player limit, and 2 wickets at 12.86 an over. At 31, with Axar Patel‘s Delhi side needing new-ball options, a full injury-free season is the one thing his IPL record still lacks.
