His' will be first year with the IPL. But not necessarily it means he has not much experience of playing T-20 cricket. He has been a part of domestic teams from New Zealand and England for a while and has recently joined his hands with Bangladesh Premier League. So far, he has 117 T-20 matches under his belt and hence will be bringing lot of experience to the table. His run and wicket tally looks impressive too; 2357 runs with 2 centuries averaging 29.83 with the strike rate of 143. 19. Add to this, his 120 T-20 wickets. He can open the innings, both while batting and bowling. An all-rounder with experience and ability. He will be a part of KXIP outfit this year and his prolific experience at this format shall bring an added edge to KXIP’s IPL-5 campaign.
