<p><strong>Devdutt Padikkal joins the 1,000-club uniquely:</strong> Padikkal could only manage five runs tonight but has been in a glorious form this season. In the process, he has also scored 1,000 runs in T20s so far. However, what's interesting is that he is the only batsman to score 1,000 T20 runs at an average of 40-plus and a strike-rate of 150-plus. Incredible!</p>
