The stats show he's been a bit inconsistent, averaging 27 over his career. He's explosive on his day, but needs to convert those starts more often to be considered among the elite. Still, a great milestone to reach.

From that debut 46* for Delhi to becoming SRH's star! His journey is so inspiring. Wishing him all the best for the 2000-run club. Hope he does it with another blistering knock. 🤞

That 74 off 28 balls against Punjab was pure carnage! If he bats like that, he'll get the 55 runs in one match itself. RR bowling, beware!

Good achievement, but let's be real, the IPL has seen many players with better numbers who didn't get consistent chances for India. Hope the selectors are watching his SR and not just the average.

His partnership with Travis Head at the top is so much fun to watch! They just go from ball one. Hope he reaches the milestone and SRH gets the win. 🧡
