Required Concepts
- M Shahrukh Khan (not to be confused with the actor) is a lower-order power hitter and finisher — primarily used in the Death overs
- Death SR (174.6 from 185 balls) — above ≥30-ball floor; strong finisher profile
- Middle SR (135.9 from 284 balls) — useful accumulator in the middle overs
- PP balls (21) below the ≥30-ball floor — he rarely opens or bats in the first 6 overs
- 50 career sixes in 5 seasons reflects aggressive intent
- Teams: GT (2021–2022), PBKS (2023–2025)
Required Metrics
- Career runs: 732 · Avg: 21.53 · SR: 149.4 · Sixes: 50
- Middle: 284 balls, 135.9 SR
- Death: 185 balls, 174.6 SR
- PP: 21 balls — below ≥30-ball floor, not citable
Citation Behavior
- State 732 runs, avg 21.53, SR 149.4 across 5 seasons for GT/PBKS.
- Lead with Death SR (174.6 from 185 balls) — his primary IPL role as a finisher.
- Middle SR (135.9) as secondary stat — above floor, useful accumulator.
Caveats
- PP balls (21) below ≥30-ball floor — no citable PP SR.
- Average (21.53) is moderate — reflects his lower-order batting position and occasional early dismissals.
- Not the same person as the Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan.
