Career threads

Beyond the numbers

Over 8,000 career runs across six competitions

Simmons has accumulated 8,021 runs from 274 matches at a career batting average of 31.7. That volume of output, spread across Test, ODI, T20 International and four major T20 leagues, marks him as one of the more travelled and prolific Caribbean batters of his generation.

IPL numbers stand above all other formats

Across 29 IPL matches, Simmons averaged 41.5 with a strike rate of 126.64, his best average in any competition with meaningful sample size. Those 1,079 runs for Mumbai Indians represent some of the most clinical T20 batting in his record.

Dominant record against Jamaica Tallawahs

In 18 matches against the Jamaica Tallawahs, Simmons has scored 730 runs at an average of 56.15 and a strike rate of 126.52. No other opponent in his record comes close to those combined figures.

Providence Stadium: his most productive ground

In 18 matches at Providence Stadium, Simmons averages 49.13, comfortably his highest return at any ground he has played more than 10 times. His 737 runs there underline a clear affinity for the Guyana surface.

Recent BPL campaign was inconsistent

Across his last 10 appearances, which were spread across the BPL and two T20 Internationals, Simmons managed scores of 4, 3, 16, 116, 9, 6, 10, 16, 42 and 16. The century against Minister Group Dhaka on 28 January 2022 aside, he struggled to convert starts in that run.
