He played his last season in 2020 which was his personal best where he ended the tournament with a total of 20 scalps with a mind-blowing economy rate of just 6.55 RPO, truly incredible for any bowler in the T20 format of the game.
He was picked by Mumbai Indians in 2022 for a staggering INR 8 crore but an injury ruled him out for the entire season. He played for five matches in 2023 for MI after being retained for the same price of INR 8 crores.
