He was within the fag end of his career when the Indian Premier League begun, but there as well he was one of the foremost steady players within the tournament in its starting years.
He also won the orange cap in the tournament to show his authority in T20 cricket as well. There is another record in IPL which he held up until Sunday and that was of being the quickest batter to score 1000 runs in IPL in terms of innings. But on Sunday, Chennai Super Kings batter Ruturaj Gaikwad equalled his record.
