IPL 2026 captaincy, venue & matchup analysis
₹8.0 Cr
Opener — explosive left-handed power-hitter
⭐⭐⭐⭐ GL Captain on flat pitches. SR 168+ means 60+ pts even without big milestone.
Hyderabad (small ground, 168+ SR here). Wankhede/Chinnaswamy (flat, explosive).
Chepauk (slow pitch suppresses his aggressive game).
High ownership at SRH home but under-owned in away GL contests.
Flat pitch = must open and captain. Slow pitch = fade from GL consideration.
Right-arm off-spin: targets the off-side and cuts loose. Vulnerable vs left-arm seam.
Hyderabad IPL 2026: 380 runs at SR 171. Powerplay IPL 2026: SR 160.
Best differential opener in IPL 2026. Pair with Abhishek Sharma for SRH stack in GL.
