The all-rounder smashed 77 not out off just 50 balls, and was involved in a match-winning partnership with David Warner, who also starred with a 38-ball 53 as Australia trounced New Zealand by 8 wickets in the final.

Warner was named ‘Player of the Tournament’ after he finished as the second-highest run-getter in the showpiece event behind Babar Azam. He aggregated 289 runs at an average of 48.16 in 7 games.
Warner had a disappointing IPL campaign with SunRisers Hyderabad after he was dropped from the team in the first half of the tournament.
