The right-handed batter is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cups as he has amassed 919 runs at an average of 36.76. His highest score stands at an unbeaten 79 and his strike rate stands just above 130. He, however, still has not scored a single century in the marquee event with nine half-centuries to his name.
