Tristan Stubbs' insane numbers

Despite being bought for a modest sum of just Rs 50 lakhs, Tristan Stubbs has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, outshining established stars like Andre Russell, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, and even the dynamic Rishabh Pant. What sets Stubbs apart is his ability to clear the boundaries with ease.

The statistics speak volumes about Tristan Stubbs' impact on the field. With a staggering strike rate of 297.2 in overs 17 to 20, Stubbs has etched his name in IPL history as the most lethal power hitter in the tournament's history. Amassing 223 runs in the process, Stubbs has single-handedly turned the tide of matches in favor of his team with his explosive batting displays.

Comparisons with some of the biggest names in T20 cricket further highlight Stubbs' meteoric rise. His strike rate dwarfs that of renowned power hitters like Andre Russell, Heinrich Klaasen, and Rishabh Pant, placing him in a league of his own. Even the legendary AB de Villiers, known for his ability to decimate bowling attacks, pales in comparison to Stubbs' ferocious batting prowess.
