Kyle Jamieson

Kyle Jamieson, the towering 2.03m New Zealand fast bowler, is known for his bounce, accuracy, and lower-order hitting. Primarily with New Zealand's national team and domestic side Canterbury, he played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in IPL 2025 as a capped player.

In IPL 2025 with RCB, Jamieson featured in 10 matches, taking 14 wickets at an economy of 8.2, including a standout 4/28 against Mumbai Indians. He contributed 85 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 140, highlighted by a quickfire 32 off 15 balls in a chase against Delhi Capitals, aiding RCB's playoff push.

For the IPL 2026 auction, Jamieson's base price is ₹2 Cr. Interest comes from pace-hungry teams like Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Chennai Super Kings, valuing his height advantage on Indian pitches.

Expect Jamieson to thrive as a death-over specialist and enforcer in IPL 2026, targeting 15-18 wickets with improved fitness post-injury concerns. His all-round utility could see him bat higher. Realistic auction price: ₹4.5-6 Cr, driven by scarcity of genuine bounce generators.
