As a neutral fan, it's great to see a captain performing so consistently. His average of 53.80 for PBKS is outstanding. Shows what a change of environment can do. LSG bowlers will have their task cut out.

A solid player, no doubt. But let's be honest, for a player of his calibre and experience, he should have crossed 4000 runs already. Too many starts not converted into big hundreds. Still, wish him luck for the milestone.

His form is the main reason PBKS is looking so strong! That partnership with Stoinis has been fire. Hope he gets there with a match-winning knock. Sunday match is a must-watch now! 🔥

Stats don't lie. 135+ career SR and 35 average over 138 matches is top-class consistency in T20 cricket. He's a proper modern-day IPL legend. Deserves all the accolades.

Interesting to see his transformation as a leader at PBKS. The team's unbeaten run isn't a coincidence. His aggressive intent at the top sets the tone. LSG needs a plan for him specifically.
