The southpaw posted a picture of him posing for a selfie with pop star Ariana Grande. The post started getting a lot of attention and even former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh reacted to it.

He bowled a spell of 3/19 dismissing Kohli, Maxwell and De Villiers in the process, turning the match on its head for Punjab Kings. in IPL 2020. His first 11 overs in the IPL starting from 2019 went for a wicketless 106 runs, and his next seven balls didn’t concede a single run while removing not one but three big fish.
