IPL 2019: Deccan Chargers first ever IPL XI- Where are they now?

#6 Scott Styris

Scott Styris

Former Kiwi all-rounder, Scott Styris failed the bat in Deccan Chargers' IPL opener, as he was dismissed for just 6 runs by Mohammed Hafeez. However, Styris put up a better performance with the ball with an economical spell of 4-0-19-0.

Overall, Styris had a poor IPL 2008 with both bat and ball as he could score just 112 runs from 8 matches at an average of 18.66 at a very poor strike rate of 91.05 and picked up only three wickets in the entire season.

Styris played for New Zealand from 1999-2011 and ended his career as one of the successful all-rounders for New Zealand in the international arena. In IPL, he was part of Deccan Chargers franchise from 2008-2010 and later on went on to represent Chennai Super Kings in 2013, which incidentally turned out be his last season in IPL.

After retirement Styris works as a commentator and a cricket expert with various sports channels.
