He scored 6 fifties this year at the time of the end of the fourth Test against India but failed to convert them into big knocks. He scored his lone century this year at the tail end of the recently concluded Pataudi series.
He has scored 719 runs in 10 matches so far this year at an average of 42.29 and stands second in this list.
