The dynamic batter has had a standout campaign, accumulating 360 runs at an average of 45.00 and a striking rate of 141.73.

With an impressive haul of 14 wickets in eight games, he maintains a remarkable average of 16.93 and a strike rate of 12. Despite bowling during the PowerPlay and at the death, his economy rate stands at a commendable 8.08, highlighting his effectiveness in different phases of the game.
