Some of his most memorable innings include:
His towering 183 runs off a mere 148 balls against Pakistan in the 2012 Asia Cup.
A match winning 82 runs against the Australian team during the 2016 T20 World Cup.
An endless collection of ODI centuries while chasing, surely making him the ‘Chase Master’–a fitting title for someone so deserving.
