He has already smashed a few records in the season; has the most sixes in the season (65), surpassing Chris Gayle’s tally of 60, and has the most runs in powerplay (490), in a year. So, it would be interesting to see how he turns up against GT. But for that, it is imperative to see, how he has fared against GT in the tournament.
