Kyle Jamieson: career
Jamieson made his debut in 2012 and almost immediately came to the attention of top clubs. Under the guidance of coach Dayle Hadlee, the New Zealander mastered all the tricks of cricket, which allowed him to join the ranks of Canterbury at the age of 20.
However, the 2018/19 season became the defining one in Kyle’s career. In the Auckland Aces – Canterbury Kings match at the Super Smash 2019, the athlete rewrote the record, becoming the third bowler in the history of New Zealand cricket with figures of 6 wickets, 7 runs for 4 overs. This allowed Jamieson to simultaneously become one of the most valuable assets on the market.
The New Zealander’s local success helped to qualify for the Test in the tour against Australia, although he did not enter the field. The real debut for the national team occurred in the ODI series against India in February 2020, where Kyle showed his best side, becoming the player of the match. And in the next meeting, Jamieson surprisingly closed five wickets.
In the October series of matches of the second round of the Plunket Shield 2020/21 against Central Districts, the athlete scored a hat-trick. In November, he was included in the New Zealand T20I team in the series against the West Indies. In January 2021, Jamieson showed his best cricket in a Test series against Pakistan.
It is not surprising that during the transfer period of 2021, the athlete was acquired by Royal Challengers Bangalore – a representative of the strongest Indian cricket league, the IPL. Kyle agreed to the terms of the offer and signed a contract worth $ 2.1 million in June of the same year.

According to the results of 2020, experts estimate the athlete’s income of approximately $ 4 million earned on the field and cooperating with popular sports brands.

The young man is now at the peak of his form, so he has everything necessary for career growth.
According to the New Zealander himself, his priority is consolidating the RCB foundation and winning the title. In this regard, he associates all his immediate successes exclusively with his career. In parallel with the growing popularity of the player himself, his personal brand – Kyle Jamieson – is also developing, which allows him not to worry about the financial side of the game. A cricketer can fully focus on his career, while specialists on his behalf carry out multimillion-dollar investments and are engaged in acquiring real estate.
