Kyle Mayers arrived in the IPL with a debut few overseas batters have managed. Walking out for Lucknow Super Giants in their opening game of the 2023 season against Delhi Capitals, the Barbadian left-hander hit 73 off 38 balls, taking on the new ball with clean, powerful striking. It was a statement innings, and it set the tone for the strongest season of his IPL career. Across 13 matches that year, the Kyle Mayers IPL stats read 379 runs at a strike rate of 144.11, with four fifties — productive top-order numbers by any measure.
What happened next is the puzzle at the heart of his IPL story. Retained by Lucknow for 2024, he did not play a single match all season. Released ahead of the 2025 mega auction, he went unsold. A player who had once looked like a genuine find for the franchise drifted out of the league without playing another game. This page lays out his verified IPL numbers, his price history with Lucknow, and what is confirmed about IPL 2027.

Who Is Kyle Mayers?
Kyle Mayers was born on 8 September 1992 in Bridgetown, Barbados. A left-handed batter who bowls right-arm medium pace, he represents the West Indies and plays domestic cricket for Barbados. He was part of the West Indies squad at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup and made his senior international debut in 2020, first in T20Is and then in ODIs and Tests.
His breakthrough moment came on Test debut in February 2021, when he struck an unbeaten 210 against Bangladesh at Chattogram and carried West Indies to a successful chase of 395 — the sixth double century on Test debut in the history of the format. He remains a West Indies regular across formats, though he lost his T20I place in 2025 after a lean run against Nepal.
Kyle Mayers IPL Teams
| Season | Team | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | Lucknow Super Giants | Bought at auction for Rs 50 lakh; squad member, no matches played |
| 2023 | Lucknow Super Giants | Retained at Rs 50 lakh; 13 matches |
| 2024 | Lucknow Super Giants | Retained at Rs 50 lakh; no matches played |
| 2025 | – | Released by LSG; unsold at the mega auction |
| 2026 | – | No IPL appearances |
| 2027 | – | Not officially confirmed |
Lucknow bought him at the 2022 mega auction at his base price of Rs 50 lakh but never used him that year. When he finally got his chance in 2023, he delivered immediately. Yet a full season on the bench in 2024 cooled the relationship, and the 2025 mega auction reset meant LSG let him go — along with fellow overseas names such as Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis. No franchise bid for him, and he has not played in the IPL since.
Kyle Mayers IPL 2023 Stats
| Matches | Innings | Runs | Highest Score | Average | Strike Rate | 50s | 100s | 4s | 6s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 13 | 379 | 73 | 29.15 | 144.11 | 4 | 0 | 38 | 22 |
His debut season was, statistically, one of the best by an overseas opener in recent years. The 73 against Delhi came at a strike rate above 190, and he followed it with more heavy hitting: 53 against Chennai Super Kings, 51 against Rajasthan Royals, a 54 off 24 balls against Punjab Kings, and 48 off 32 against Gujarat Titans. That is five scores of 48 or more in 13 innings — remarkable consistency for a powerplay batter. With the ball he was used sparingly, sending down seven overs across the season without a wicket.
Kyle Mayers IPL 2024 Stats
| Matches | Runs | Wickets |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | – | – |
Lucknow retained him for 2024 at Rs 50 lakh, but he spent the entire season on the bench and did not play a single match. With the side favouring other overseas combinations, Mayers was the odd man out from the first game to the last.
Kyle Mayers IPL 2025 Stats
| Matches | Runs | Wickets |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | – | – |
Released by Lucknow before the 2025 mega auction, Mayers entered the player pool but found no takers and went unsold. He played no IPL cricket in 2025.
Kyle Mayers IPL 2026 Stats
| Matches | Runs | Wickets |

Mayers did not feature in the IPL in 2026 either, so his career figures remain exactly where they were after 2023: 13 matches and 379 runs.
Kyle Mayers IPL 2027 Stats
IPL 2027 statistics are not available yet because the season has not started. As of October 2026, his team and price for the 2027 season are not officially confirmed. His last confirmed IPL status was as a free agent after going unsold at the 2025 mega auction. Whether a franchise picks him up at the 2027 auction will be decided closer to the event, and this page will be updated when anything official is announced.
Kyle Mayers IPL 2027 Team and Price
Neither his IPL 2027 team nor his price has been officially confirmed. The retention and auction process for the 2027 season was still to be completed at the time of writing. His only confirmed IPL dealings have been with Lucknow Super Giants: Rs 50 lakh at the 2022 auction and retentions at the same figure for 2023 and 2024. Readers tracking the IPL 2027 retention rules and the IPL 2027 auction should watch the official player lists for his name.
Kyle Mayers IPL Career Batting Stats
| Matches | Innings | Runs | Highest Score | Average | Strike Rate | 50s | 100s | 4s | 6s |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 13 | 379 | 73 | 29.15 | 144.11 | 4 | 0 | 38 | 22 |
A batting record built in a single season. An average just under 30 and a strike rate above 144 marks him as a genuine powerplay aggressor: 38 fours and 22 sixes in 13 innings shows he cleared the ropes regularly without chewing up deliveries. His career boundary rate — a four or six roughly every four balls faced — is the standout feature of the numbers.
Kyle Mayers IPL Career Bowling Stats
| Matches | Overs | Runs Conceded | Wickets | Best Bowling | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | 7.0 | 59 | 0 | – | 8.43 |
The all-rounder tag comes from his international career, where his medium pace has produced useful spells, including a Test five-wicket haul. In the IPL, Lucknow used him almost exclusively as a batter: seven overs across 13 matches, no wickets, 59 runs conceded. His bowling remains an untested option at this level.

The year-by-year view is stark: one full season, then nothing. Every number on his IPL record was produced in 2023, and his career totals have not moved since his last appearance against Mumbai Indians in the 2023 Eliminator.
Kyle Mayers IPL Highest Score
Mayers’ highest IPL score is 73, made on debut for Lucknow Super Giants against Delhi Capitals in 2023. Chasing nothing more than a statement, he attacked from the start and reached 73 off 38 balls at a strike rate of 192.11, with seven fours and two sixes. It remains the only time he has passed 70 in the tournament and set the benchmark for everything that followed in that season.
Kyle Mayers IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Mayers has taken no wickets in the IPL. In his 13 appearances he bowled just seven overs, conceding 59 runs at an economy rate of 8.43. Lucknow never really asked him to bowl — his value to the side was measured entirely in runs — so there is no meaningful best-bowling figure to record.
Kyle Mayers IPL Batting Records
There are no IPL batting records to his name. His 73 on debut is the highlight of his personal record book but not a league record. Four fifties in 13 innings is a strong conversion rate for a powerplay opener, though the sample size of a single season is small.
Kyle Mayers IPL Auction Price History
| Season | Team | Price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | – | – | Auction (unsold) |
| 2022 | Lucknow Super Giants | Rs 50 lakh | Auction (bought at base price) |
| 2023 | Lucknow Super Giants | Rs 50 lakh | Retention |
| 2024 | Lucknow Super Giants | Rs 50 lakh | Retention |
| 2025 | – | – | Auction (unsold at mega auction) |
| 2026 | – | – | Not officially confirmed |
| 2027 | – | – | Not officially confirmed |
Lucknow’s valuation of him never changed: bought at Rs 50 lakh in the 2022 mega auction, retained at the same figure for the next two seasons. His retentions were rewards for the 2023 output; his release reflected the 2024 reality of a squad place with no playing time.
Kyle Mayers IPL Records and Achievements
- Hit 73 off 38 balls on IPL debut for Lucknow Super Giants against Delhi Capitals in 2023, one of the highest scores by an LSG batter on debut.
- Scored 379 runs in IPL 2023 at a strike rate of 144.11, with four fifties in 13 innings.
- Outside the IPL: scored an unbeaten 210 on Test debut for West Indies against Bangladesh in 2021, becoming the sixth player to hit a double century on Test debut and sealing a famous 395-run chase.
Kyle Mayers’s IPL Performance Analysis
The numbers describe a player who solved the hardest problem in T20 batting — scoring fast at the top — and then vanished from the league anyway. A strike rate of 144.11 across 13 innings with five scores of 48 or more is not a fluke; it is the profile of a reliable powerplay aggressor. His boundary rate, one every four balls, held up across the season rather than depending on one innings.
So why did the IPL move on? The 2024 season is the answer. Benched for all 14 of Lucknow’s games, he became invisible to the auction room, and franchises rarely bid on players they have not seen for two years. His West Indies T20I form dipping around the same time did not help. At 34, with no IPL cricket since May 2023, the league has evidently decided his powerplay slot is better filled elsewhere. A return would require a franchise to bet on the 2023 numbers rather than the two silent years that followed.
