Tim Seifert Player Profile

Tim Seifert is a fearless right-handed wicketkeeper batter from Wanganui, known for his explosive top-order hitting and 360-degree strokeplay. Nicknamed “Bam Bam” for his boyish looks and ball-bashing ability, the 31-year-old has made a name for himself across multiple T20 leagues worldwide. He first turned heads in December 2017 by smashing a 40-ball century for Northern Districts against an attack featuring Lockie Ferguson and Sam Curran. Since his T20I debut for New Zealand in 2018, Seifert has become a sought-after global T20 specialist, having represented franchises like the Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Trinbago Knight Riders, and Melbourne Renegades. He idolizes Brendon McCullum and has worked closely with him at both Trinbago Knight Riders and Kolkata Knight Riders, refining his batting and glovework against spin.
