The dashing left-handed wicketkeeper revolutionized batting in the middle order in Tests and at the top in limited overs. However, even after retiring from the Australian national team, his magic with the bat and behind the stumps refused to subside.
His IPL career is demarcated into two phases, part one with the Deccan Chargers, and the next one with the Kings XI Punjab.
In the 2008 season, he hit 10 sixes in an innings, overtaken by only Brendon McCullum and Sanath Jayasuriya. In that particular innings, he scored a ton, a 42-ball savagery that made a mockery of Mumbai Indians’ target of 155.
For the Chargers, he amassed 1289 runs at a strike rate of 147.82, which was 7 units higher than his overall T20 figure.
However, he is remembered best for taking the Chargers, placed last in the 2008 edition, to the title the very next year.
He switched to the Punjab franchise in 2011 and played till 2013, scoring two more tons. He capped off his IPL with a wicket off the last and only ball that he bowled throughout.
