Coming in as an opener, the batsman went on smashing the ball across the long boundaries and had a good partnership with Suryakumar Yadav and Saurabh Tiwary.

The 200th six came after the Hitman danced down the wicket to Kuldeep Yadav's delivery. He got to the pitch of the delivery and lofted through the line to clear it towards long-on comfortably.
