So far, the dashing middle-order bat has scored three half-centuries while racing away to 225 runs in five games@75.00, at a strike rate of 193.96. His unique, 360 degree batting style, which has seen smash bowlers around the park, has prompted many to compare the 32-year-old with South African great AB de Villiers.

Like all cricket fans, de Villers, who scored nearly 20,000 runs in international cricket across formats, himself has been in awe of ‘SKY,’ The 38-year-old now wants the Mumbaikar to bat like this consistently for the next couple of years.
