The Karnataka right-hander has been one of the most reliable players for the franchise ever since he was picked by them in 2014. He played a key role for them when they won the title that year, scoring a match-winning 95 in the final to help them chase a stiff total down.
He finished the 2017 season with a tally of 396 runs in 14 matches at an average of 49 and a strike-rate of 128 and he could provide them with similar such consistency if given another opportunity in the middle-order next year.
