Tristan Stubbs player profile

A batter seemingly born for the modern game, Tristan Stubbs is known for his fearless approach to batting. But there is more to him than just big-hitting. Stubbs also takes an energetic approach to longer-formats, and within four years of making his first-class debut, averaged over 50 in it.
Schooled at Grey High School in Gqeberha, Stubbs was the captain of the first team. He was also the leading run-scorer at the 2018 Khaya Majola Cricket week, an Under-19 tournament in South Africa, and was selected for the SA Schools side. Stubbs did not make the South Africa Under-19 squad, but was instead selected to make his provincial debut for Eastern Province in January 2020.
On reputation, Stubbs was signed by Mumbai Indians (MI) for IPL 2022, before he had made his T20I debut, which eventually came in June 2022. He only played four matches for MI over two seasons, before moving to Delhi Capitals in 2024, where he was their second-highest run-scorer that year. Stubbs was also part of South Africa's T20 World Cup squad in 2024.
In the longer formats, he was the second-highest run-getter in the 2022-23 domestic one-day competition, and the second-highest in the 2023-24 domestic first-class competition, thanks largely to his 302* against Kwa-Zulu Natal Inland, scored off 372 balls. Stubbs made his Test debut against India in January 2024, and was earmarked to take over the No. 3 position later that year.

Tristan Stubbs IPL factfile

- Tristan Stubbs was one of four players retained by Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of IPL 2025 for INR 10 crore (USD 1.1 million approx).
- This came after a breakthrough 2024 season, in which Stubbs smashed 378 runs in 14 innings, the second-highest for DC, at a strike rate of 190.90. He finished IPL 2024 with a death-overs strike rate of 297.33 - the highest for any batter with a minimum of 100 runs in that IPL season.
- Stubbs was first picked in the IPL by Mumbai Indians in 2022 as a replacement player for fast bowler Tymal Mills at his base price of INR 20 lakh. He played just two matches in his first season, and then two again in his second with meagre returns. Ahead of IPL 2024, Stubbs moved to DC, and that's where he prospered.
- In IPL 2025, Stubbs was DC's designated finisher, as he smashed 300 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 150.75. He was retained by the franchise for the 2026 season for INR 10 crore.
