SKY is just unstoppable! 🔥 The way he plays those 360-degree shots is pure magic. No wonder he's called Mr. 360. Hope he breaks Bavuma's record in the next match. Mumbai Indians are lucky to have him!

Consistency is key in T20s, and SKY has mastered it. 63.75 average with 170+ strike rate is insane! But I wish he'd convert some of these 25+ scores into bigger ones. Still, what a player!

Remember when people doubted his ability after a couple of low scores last season? This is why you never write off champions. SKY is proving why he's India's T20 captain. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

His strike rate is what impresses me most. Scoring fast while being consistent is rare. Other Indian batsmen should learn from him. Also, that scoop shot over fine leg yesterday was 🤯

While SKY is amazing, I think we're overhyping this 25+ stat. What matters is match-winning contributions. That said, 510 runs in 12 innings is no joke. Hope he carries this form to next year's World Cup!

The best part? He makes it look so effortless. No muscle power, just pure timing and innovation. Truly a modern batting genius. Hope my son learns to play like him someday!
