Who Is Mitchell Owen, Punjab Kings' New Recruitment

Mitchell Owen shot to fame with his antics in the Big Bash League. He smoked the second fastest hundred in BBL history with a 39 ball century against the Sydney Thunder. He also scored a 42-ball 108 in the final to lead Hobart Hurricanes to the BBL title. He amassed 452 runs from 11 innings in the BBL at an average of 54.20.
