One of the best all-rounders in the KPL 2017, Stuart Binny played his role to perfection that aided the Belagavi Panthers to the title victory.

In the first game against Hubli, Binny partnered Arvind with the new ball and picked two wickets for just 25 runs, while in the next game against Bengaluru, Binny blasted his way to a 46-ball 87 with eight fours and five sixes. He backed it up with two wickets to rightfully earn the man of the match award.

He continued his rich vein of form against Mysuru wherein he notched up his second fifty of the tournament off just 28 balls and also picked two wickets to pick his second consecutive man-of-the-match award.

After a rare failure against Bellary, he was back in his element against Bijapur with an important half-century. His consistency rubbed off on the youngsters in the team as well. Binny was named the 'Player of the Series' at the end of the tournament.
