Tim Seifert

Tim Seifert is a dynamic wicketkeeper-batter from New Zealand known for his explosive stroke play and adaptability in T20 cricket. Since making his T20I debut in 2018, he has become a mainstay in New Zealand's limited-overs setup. With the ability to bat anywhere in the order, Seifert brings a fearless approach and quick scoring ability, having scored over 1,400 runs in T20Is at a strike rate consistently above 130. His aggressive mindset and range of shots make him a genuine impact player in the shortest format.

In franchise cricket, Seifert has showcased his skills across various leagues including the Caribbean Premier League and Big Bash League. One of his most notable domestic performances came in the Super Smash where he smashed a 40-ball century—the fastest in New Zealand’s T20 history. His ability to attack from ball one and keep the scoreboard moving has made him a sought-after option for teams looking for top-order firepower and a reliable wicketkeeping option.

Seifert’s IPL journey began with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2021 but he didn’t get a game that season. In 2022, he played a couple of matches for Delhi Capitals but couldn’t make a significant impact, scoring only 24 runs. Despite a quiet start in the IPL, he remains a valuable T20 asset with vast international experience. In IPL 2025, he is part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad, hoping to finally leave his mark on the league and become a consistent contributor at the top.
