Michael Bracewell, a versatile New Zealand all-rounder, is known for his aggressive middle-order batting, off-spin bowling, and sharp fielding. Born in 1990, he has represented New Zealand across formats, including Tests, ODIs, and T20Is, with notable performances in the 2023 ODI World Cup. His current international commitments and domestic stints are with Wellington Firebirds and Northern Districts in Super Smash. Capped status and base price of ₹2 Cr make him a value pick for IPL franchises seeking multi-format utility.
In IPL 2025, Bracewell did not participate (N/A), focusing instead on international duties and recovery from prior injuries. No runs or wickets were recorded in the tournament, but his prior T20 exploits—such as a match-winning 60* off 20 balls in NZ T20Is and economical spells under 7 RPO—keep him relevant.
Auction interest for IPL 2026 comes from teams like Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings, and Chennai Super Kings, who value his spin all-rounder skills for spin-friendly Indian pitches and death-over hitting.
Expect Bracewell to deliver in IPL 2026 as a middle-order enforcer (SR 140+), chipping in 8-10 wickets with off-spin, and providing balance in overseas slots. His experience could shine in playoffs. Predicted auction price: ₹4-5 Cr, reflecting capped demand without recent IPL exposure.
