He is one of the best batting options for your fantasy team. He has scored 176 runs so far in this IPL at an average of 22 and will be looking for a big knock in the upcoming match.

He was one of the key batsmen in the last match against RCB. He smashed 48 runs from 34 deliveries while chasing a small target set by RCB. Overall, he has amassed 180 runs in 8 matches at an average of 22.5.
