Currently playing for the Gujarat Lions, the Australian all-rounder is one of the most effective bowlers in the shortest format with all his variations. He has two five-wicket hauls in his career in the IPL, and ironically both of them came against the current defending Champions Sunrisers Hyderabad. His returns of 5-20 and 5-16 in the space of a month against the Hyderabad outfit see him top this list. Though he took his team to a victory in the first game, his side failed to take advantage of his performance and lost the second tie.
