## User Question

> What are Tristan Stubbs's IPL career batting stats?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> **Tristan Stubbs** (DC/MI) IPL career batting (2022–2025, Cricsheet — 4 seasons):
>
> | Stat | Value |
> |------|-------|
> | Runs | 711 |
> | Highest score | 71 |
> | Average | 41.82 |
> | Strike rate | 165.0 |
> | Fifties | 3 |
> | Hundreds | 0 |
> | Sixes | 38 |
>
> By phase:
> | Phase | Balls | SR |
> |-------|-------|----|
> | Powerplay (1–6) | 13 | below floor |
> | Middle (7–15) | 267 | 121.0 |
> | Death (16–20) | 151 | **245.0** |
>
> Floor: ≥30 balls (Middle and Death qualify; PP 13 balls does not). Death SR 245.0 from 151 balls is among the highest in the IPL historical corpus for batters with ≥30 Death balls. Source: Cricsheet CC BY 3.0.

## Required Concepts

- Tristan Stubbs is a South African right-handed power hitter specialising in death-overs finishing
- Death SR 245.0 from 151 balls is exceptional — one of the highest sustained death-overs strike rates in IPL data
- Middle SR (121.0 from 267 balls) is modest — his value is concentrated entirely in the Death overs
- Average (41.82 from 4 seasons) is excellent for a lower-order finisher
- PP balls (13) below the ≥30-ball floor — Stubbs bats late, rarely faces PP balls

## Required Metrics

- **Career runs**: 711 · **Avg**: 41.82 · **SR**: 165.0 · **Sixes**: 38
- **Middle SR**: 121.0 (267 balls)
- **Death SR**: **245.0** (151 balls — well above floor, high confidence)

## Citation Behavior

1. Lead with Death SR (245.0 from 151 balls) — the headline stat.
2. Note Middle SR (121.0) contrasts sharply with Death — extreme phase-specific role.
3. Specify 4 seasons (2022–2025) Cricsheet.

## Caveats

- PP balls (13) below the ≥30-ball floor — no PP SR ranking citable.
- IPL 2026 tracked separately.
- Only 4 seasons — limited career sample.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Tristan Stubbs has an average IPL strike rate of around 130." *(Stubbs's overall IPL career SR is 165.0 — and his Death SR of 245.0 from 151 balls is one of the highest sustained death-over strike rates in the IPL Cricsheet corpus. He is far from average in death situations.)*
