In the ongoing match against GT, he was dropped off the first ball by Washington Sundar at mid-wicket. Since then, he has not looked back and has taken on the bowling attack with ease.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are currently third on the IPL 2026 points table and a win tonight will take them to second spot. They are chasing 206 to win the match and as things stands, RCB look well on course.
