He ended with the score of unbeaten 220 runs and helped the hidden side post a total of 330 runs.
What was the main highlight of his innings was when he smashed 7 consecutive sixes in the 49th over, which included a no-ball as well. He smashed Shiva Singh all over the park and scored 42 runs in a single over. He batted with a strike rate of 138.36 and his knock was laced with 10 fours and 16 sixes.
