Trent Boult IPL 2027 Stats: Wickets, Price, Team
Trent Boult IPL stats tell the story of the finest new-ball swing bowler of his generation in the league. Across 125 IPL matches and five franchises, the New Zealand left-arm quick has taken 145 wickets at an average of 27.14, built a reputation as the league’s “Powerplay King”, and delivered a title-winning Player of the Match performance in the IPL 2020 final for the Mumbai Indians. His 4/18 against Chennai Super Kings in 2020 remains his best IPL spell.
Boult’s IPL journey has run from Sunrisers Hyderabad to Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals, and back to Mumbai, where he returned in the 2025 mega auction for ₹12.50 crore. The 2026 season was his toughest in the league — two wickets in five games — and as of October 2026 his IPL 2027 future with Mumbai remains officially unconfirmed, with several outlets listing him among possible pre-auction releases. This page carries his verified season-by-season record, career totals, auction history and what is known about 2027.

Who Is Trent Boult?
Trent Alexander Boult was born on 22 July 1989 in Rotorua, New Zealand. A left-arm fast-medium bowler and right-handed lower-order batter, he ranks among the most successful fast bowlers in international cricket history, with 317 Test wickets and more than 200 ODI wickets for New Zealand before stepping away from international cricket to focus on T20 leagues around the world.
In the IPL, Boult made his debut in 2015 with Sunrisers Hyderabad and went on to represent Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi (Daredevils/Capitals), Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. His defining league season came in 2020, when he took 25 wickets for Mumbai Indians, swung the new ball with rare menace in the UAE, and was named Player of the Match in the final against Delhi Capitals as Mumbai lifted the trophy. He bowls the hard swinging overs at the start of the innings and is widely regarded as the most dangerous first-over bowler the league has seen.

Boult’s IPL career has been a tour of the league’s biggest dressing rooms. After two seasons with Sunrisers Hyderabad and one each with Kolkata and Delhi, he was traded to Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2020 season — the move that produced his career year and an IPL title. Rajasthan Royals paid ₹8 crore for him in the 2022 mega auction and kept him for three steady seasons, before Mumbai bought him back for ₹12.50 crore in the 2025 mega auction. His status for the 2027 season will be settled when franchises announce retentions ahead of the auction window later in 2026.
At Mumbai he shared dressing rooms with Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and fellow New Zealander Mitchell Santner across his two stints, while his Rajasthan years were spent playing under Sanju Samson alongside Jos Buttler.
Trent Boult IPL 2025 Stats
Playing all 16 of Rajasthan’s games in 2024, Boult delivered the reliable powerplay control the Royals bought him for: 16 wickets at an economy of 8.33, his best season economy since 2021. His wickets did not come in big hauls — his best was 3/22 — but he rarely went without an early breakthrough, which is exactly the role he was picked for alongside a strong pace attack.
| Discipline | M | Runs | HS | Avg | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | 16 | 2 | 1 | 2.00 | 66.67 |
| Discipline | M | Overs | Runs | Wkts | BBI | Avg | Econ | 4w |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowling | 16 | 57.4 | 517 | 22 | 4/26 | 23.50 | 9.01 | 1 |
Boult’s return to Mumbai in 2025 justified every rupee of the ₹12.50 crore price tag. His 22 wickets in 16 matches made him Mumbai’s leading wicket-taker, and his 4/26 against Sunrisers Hyderabad was one of the season’s standout new-ball spells. The economy of 9.01 was on the higher side of his career, but his strike rate of one wicket roughly every 16 balls showed the swing was still working. It was his best season since the title-winning 2020 campaign.
Trent Boult IPL 2026 Stats
| Discipline | M | Runs | HS | Avg | SR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | 5 | 8 | 7* | 8.00 | 200.00 |
| Discipline | M | Overs | Runs | Wkts | BBI | Avg | Econ | 4w |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bowling | 5 | 16.1 | 188 | 2 | 1/41 | 94.00 | 11.68 | 0 |
The 2026 season was the bleakest of Boult’s IPL career. Dropped after the midway point, he played only five matches, took two wickets, and leaked 188 runs at an economy of 11.68 — his average of 94 runs per wicket was the worst of his career by a distance. His final outing came against Chennai Super Kings on 2 May 2026, where he went wicketless for 37. Mumbai endured a poor season overall, finishing ninth, and the left-armer lost his place as the side’s new-ball duties fell to Jasprit Bumrah and Deepak Chahar.

Trent Boult IPL 2027 Team and Price
Trent Boult’s IPL 2027 team and price are not officially confirmed. Franchises are expected to announce their retention lists ahead of the auction window later in 2026, and Mumbai Indians have not yet made any official announcement about Boult. Several outlets have listed him among Mumbai’s possible pre-auction releases after his 2026 season, but that remains media speculation — nothing has been confirmed by the franchise or the IPL. If retained, his contract figure would follow the retention slab rules; if released, he would enter the auction pool.

Trent Boult IPL Highest Score
Trent Boult’s highest IPL score is 17 not out, made for Rajasthan Royals during the 2022 season. As a specialist number 10 or 11, batting has never been part of his job description — he has crossed double figures only a handful of times in 125 matches, and his career batting strike rate of 109.41 comes mostly from late-innings cameos. The four sixes in his IPL career include one struck in 2026 for Mumbai Indians.
Trent Boult IPL Wickets and Best Bowling
Boult’s 145 IPL wickets make him one of the most successful overseas fast bowlers in league history. His best figures are 4/18 against Chennai Super Kings in Dubai on 23 October 2020, a spell that swung that season’s group-stage contest and foreshadowed his final heroics. His only other four-wicket haul is 4/26 against Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2025. He has never taken five wickets in an IPL innings.
The real measure of Boult’s value is when his wickets come. He holds the record for the most first-over wickets in IPL history — 27, as tracked through early 2024 — and in 2020 he took 12 wickets in the powerplay across the season, the most by any bowler in a single edition. He has also bowled 11 maiden overs in his IPL career, four of them in the 2020 season alone.

Trent Boult IPL Records and Achievements

- Most powerplay wickets in a single IPL season: 12 in IPL 2020.
- Player of the Match in the IPL 2020 final (3/30 vs Delhi Capitals), and Player of the Season for IPL 2020.
- IPL champion with Mumbai Indians in 2020, taking 25 wickets that season — his career best.

Trent Boult’s IPL Performance Analysis
Boult’s IPL graph divides neatly into three phases. The early years (2015–2019) were nomadic: solid returns at Delhi in 2018 (18 wickets) came amid a struggling side, while his 2019 season was cut to five games. The Mumbai chapter of 2020–2021 was the peak — 25 wickets at 18.28 in the title run, built on a new-ball partnership with Jasprit Bumrah that strangled opposition powerplays, and a Player of the Match final.
The Rajasthan years (2022–2024) turned him into a specialist: 45 wickets across three seasons at a consistently fine economy, doing one job — the first two or three overs — extremely well. His 2025 return to Mumbai brought his best wicket tally since 2020, suggesting he was still elite at 35. The 2026 collapse was sharp and complete: the swing vanished, the economy ballooned to 11.68, and he was dropped mid-season. At 37, with retentions pending, his IPL future rests on whether franchises believe the new-ball magic has one more season in it.
