In 2017, he was the franchise’s leading run-scorer, with 641 in 14 innings at an average of 58.27, which included one century and four half-tons.

Sunrisers retained: Basil Thampi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Deepak Hooda, Manish Pandey, T Natarajan, Ricky Bhui, Sandeep Sharma, Siddarth Kaul, Shreevats Goswami (wk), Khaleel Ahmed, Yusuf Pathan, Billy Stanlake, David Warner, Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi.

Sunrisers traded in: Abhishek Sharma, Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem (from Daredevils).

Sunrisers released: Sachin Baby, Tanmay Agarwal, Wriddhiman Saha, Chris Jordan, Carlos Brathwaite, Alex Hales, Bipul Sharma, Mehdi Hasan.
