The Chandigarh all-rounder, ahead of the IPL, had sent out a message with his batting prowess as he scored 80 runs from 57 deliveries in the DY Patil T20 Cup for Air India against Mumbai Customs. Earlier, he played for Punjab in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where his team failed to achieve the desired result.
The 37-year-old was a part of the Kings XI Punjab squad last season and had a woeful season with the bat. He played only in eight matches where he managed just 65 runs. Hence, the team management decided to release him ahead of IPL 2019.
