Professional Life and IPL Career
Phil Salt began his professional career in 2016 with Sussex and made his name in one-day and T20 games with rapid scoring. In 2021, he moved to Lancashire, where he was vital in winning some big T20 games for them. He made his debut for England in a T20I that year and impressed with a series of aggressive knocks.
In the 2023 IPL, Phil Salt was first bought by Delhi Capitals, where he started the innings with an explosive batting. The following season, for 2024, Salt signed with the Kolkata Knight Riders and we really got to see his power hitting alongside his opening partner Sunil Narine. He was bought by Royal Challengers Bengaluru for the 2025 IPL season, we hope to see him open the innings and display some big shots. Well, so far, that is precisely what he has been doing, though, in 10 matches so far, he has only managed to score 239 runs opening with Virat Kohli. But yes, his strike rate is kinda good, which is working in the favor of the team as of IPL 2025.
