His T20 stats make for good reading. He has played 27 matches and picked up 20 wickets at an average of 28.95 and an economy of 7.06. His batting strike rate of 160 is phenomenal. He didn't have a great outing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He only got 4 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 37, he had an economy rate of 7.12. He averaged 21 with the bat and had an excellent strike rate of 148.

Although he was bought for a high price, he still remains a relatively unknown commodity. When these factors are combined with his hitting and wicket taking abilities, he could be the surprise package in a star-studded Rajasthan Royals outfit.
