Jamieson has had a great start to his Test career for New Zealand picking 36 wickets in 6 Tests at an average of 13.27 and strike rate of 33.3. He has also played two ODIs and four T20Is for his country but not tasted the same success. A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Jamieson is a useful lower-order batsman.
Jamieson has picked 54 wickets in 38 T20 matches at a very impressive strike rate of 15.4 in T20 cricket. It is his wicket-taking propensity which has attracted the big moolah for him in the IPL Auctions.

Jamieson picked 5 wickets in as many matches for Auckland in the 2021 Super Smash in New Zealand. The New Zealander has also benefitted from his fine performances in Test cricket and a lot would be expected from him by RCB in the tournament.
