Tristan Stubbs' insane numbers

Despite being bought for a modest sum of just Rs 50 lakhs, Tristan Stubbs has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, outshining established stars like Andre Russell, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, and even the dynamic Rishabh Pant. What sets Stubbs apart is his ability to clear the boundaries with ease.

With a staggering strike rate of 297.2 in overs 17 to 20, Stubbs has etched his name in IPL history as the most lethal power hitter in the tournament's history. Amassing 223 runs in the process, Stubbs has single-handedly turned the tide of matches in favor of his team with his explosive batting displays.
