Combined in these two, he already has 10 centuries to his name. So, no wonder the South African team had to give him a chance to play for them on the international stage, and one after the other, he made his debut in all formats of the game. Though the ODI debut in February 2025 was something special because, as an opening batsman, he hit 150 in his first ever ODI match for the country. Looking at this performance of his, it was Lucknow Super Giants that went for him in auctions, and now he is part of the LSG squad, though he hasn’t gotten any chance to play yet.
