A hard-hitting left-handed batsman and a reliable medium pace bowler from Mumbai was roped into the Royal Challengers” camp who were in need of a proper finisher. On most of the occasions in the Indian domestic season, he was the saviour of the side in times of need. His five sixes in an over against Baroda in Ranji season match just before the IPL auctions, tempted a lot of franchises.
5 bowlers who have taken 100 or more wickets in IPL
He smashed as much as 600+ runs in Ranji season including two
centuries and three half-centuries.
He was the one of the players who attracted the Indian fans during the domestic season. Provided he is at his brutal best, Royal Challengers can have a great chance in their hunt for maiden title over a period of a decade.
