Overview
What the figures show
Shane Watson's IPL record is one of the long ones — twelve seasons between 2008 and 2020, 141 innings, 3,874 runs. The biggest return came in 2018: 555 runs struck at 154.6 for Chennai Super Kings. No IPL innings has beaten the 117 scored in 2018. Fifty has been passed 25 times, four of those going on to hundreds. That works out at 137.9 per hundred balls, near enough the middle of the 182 batters here who have faced 300 IPL deliveries or more. Fours and sixes account for roughly 68% of the total — 376 and 190 of them.
Club by club, the record reads Rajasthan Royals (2008–2015), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (2016–2017) and Chennai Super Kings (2018–2020). Most of the runs, 2,372 of them, came in the Rajasthan Royals years. There is no IPL cricket on the record in 2009. His IPL bowling comes to 61 wickets in 1,361 deliveries at an economy rate of 7.50. That is a wicket every 22 balls. At 7.50 an over that is 0.67 less than the 8.17 median among the 102 bowlers who have sent down 300 or more IPL balls.
The Big Bash adds 1,014 runs from 39 matches for Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder, best of 100. Side by side the two T20 records move at almost the same pace — 137.9 per hundred balls in the IPL, 133.9 in the Big Bash. The averages read 30.99 and 27.41. As a bowler the leagues line up at 7.50 an over in the IPL and 8.11 in the Big Bash.
The Ashes record, 2009 to 2015, shows 1,487 runs from 37 innings, ten of them fifties, top score 176.

How this page was worked out
Where these figures come from
Sources for this profile
- IPL figures computed from ball-by-ball records of 1,243 IPL matches.
- Big Bash figures computed from ball-by-ball records of men’s BBL matches.
- Ashes figures compiled from published Test match records, not from ball-by-ball data.
- Date of birth, playing style and photograph come from a third-party player feed, matched by name.
How the numbers are derived
- A wide is not a ball faced; a no ball is.
- Byes and leg byes are not charged to the bowler; wides and no balls are.
- Six kinds of dismissal are credited to a bowler. A run out is not one of them.
- An average is runs over dismissals, and is left blank rather than shown as infinite.
