He got off to a flying start in the first match, scoring an unbeaten 59 off 28 balls to rescue India from a tricky situation and set the momentum for the series.

His standout display came in the series decider at Ahmedabad, where he hammered 63 runs from just 25 balls, reaching his fifty in only 16 deliveries, the second-fastest by an Indian after Yuvraj Singh’s famous 12-ball effort in 2007.
