Rovman Powell
On scorecards: R Powell · Right-hand bat
Rovman Powell, a batter, has played five IPL seasons for three franchises.
The arrival
Rovman Powell arrived through the auction: Delhi Capitals paid ₹2.80 cr, against a base price of ₹75 lakh. That debut came after going unsold once (2021).
That first season brought 14 matches and 250 runs. It would stay the best season of the career with the bat.
The peak
The high point with the bat was 2022, for Delhi Capitals: 250 runs at an average of 25.0, striking at 149.7 in a season when the league as a whole struck at 134.2, with 1 fifty, and a highest score of 67 not out.
Franchise by franchise
2022 to 2023, Delhi Capitals. Bought at the 2022 auction for ₹2.80 cr. 17 matches, 257 runs and 1 wicket.
2024, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2024 auction for ₹7.40 cr. 9 matches and 103 runs.
2025 to 2026, Kolkata Knight Riders. Bought at the 2025 auction for ₹1.50 cr. 13 matches and 195 runs.
3 spells with three franchises in all. The longest was with Delhi Capitals, 2022 to 2023.
How the runs came
Across the career, Rovman Powell has struck at 142.3. The league around those same seasons, weighted by how much batting each one involved, struck at 145.5, so Rovman Powell has scored about 3 runs per hundred balls slower than the typical batter of the time. 68% of the runs came in fours and sixes: 38 fours and 38 sixes.
The fielding record: 26 catches.
At the auction
Rovman Powell has gone under the hammer five times, bought four times and left unsold once. The highest price was ₹7.40 cr, paid by Rajasthan Royals in 2024, more than 7 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹30 lakh in 2017, ₹1.50 cr by 2025. Unsold in 2021, Rovman Powell was bought again in 2022 by Delhi Capitals. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
Where it stands
Rovman Powell has made 39 IPL appearances, the latest for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2026.
