Top Kiwi cricketers in IPL
Trent Boult
Trent Boult has been a force to reckon with in IPL. The left-arm pacer made his debut back in 2015 and has featured in the IPL regularly since then. In 92 matches, Boult has picked up 110 wickets and has a economy rate of 8.29. Boult has delivered several lightning spells with the new ball and has rattled several dangerous batting line-ups in IPL.
Brendon McCullum
Brendon McCullum played IPL from 2008 to 2018 and during those 10 years, he played 109 matches and scored 2880 runs with two centuries and 13 fifties. He kicked off his IPL career with KKR in 2008 and scored a mammoth 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the opening game.
Kane Williamson
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson is currently a part of Gujarat Titans (GT) but back in 2015, he began his journey in the league, in Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Williamson became the recipient of the Orange Cap for ending up as the leading run-getter in the competition, with 735 runs in 17 matches at a strike rate of 142.44 with eight fifties. Despite not starting well in IPL 2024, Williamson can change things around very quickly.
