In IPL, he has played for Kolkata Knight Riders (2012-present). He won the Most Valuable Player title in 2012 and 2018. He has picked up 112 wickets from 98 IPL matches and has scored 628 runs. In 2017 IPL, KKR made a master move by opening the batting with him, which saw him taking some quick runs. He also holds the record for the fastest joint 50 of IPL in 15 balls.

He is expected to open the batting with Robin Uthappa when Chris Lynn is not playing. Otherwise, he will bat at No:8.
