The Australian all-rounder has been an important part of the RCB batting and bowling line-up this season of the IPL. He has not been able to set the stage alight with his batting but his bowling efforts deserve some accolades.
He has been the pick of the RCB quick bowlers and has been hard to get away all season. However, he will feel disappointed with the loss in the IPL final on Sunday.
