This team has bought Jaskaran for 60 thousand dollars. With around 50 lakhs, he has become the most expensive wicketkeeper in this tournament. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, there are also Mumbai Indians New York, Chennai Super Kings Texas in this 6-team tournament. Two teams in the league are owned by American based investors.
Jaskaran is one of the few players who have hit 6 sixes in all 6 balls of an over in international cricket. In 2021, this Indian-origin American batsman did this feat in ODIs against Papua New Guinea. He became the fourth batsman to do so in the history of international cricket. Before him, Herschelle Gibbs did it in ODIs, while Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard did it in T20s.
