In contrast to his last name, D'Arcy Short has set the reputation of striking long sixes, credit to his proficiency in generating immense bat speeds.

He came into limelight in the BBL where he played for Hobart Hurricanes, finishing as the leading run-scorer in the 2017/18 season. The 27-year-old earned a call-up to don the yellow jersey in a T20I tri-series, where he ended up being the third highest run-getter with 196 runs.

In a young T20 career of 25 matches, he has already hit 44 sixes, following which Rajasthan Royals roped him in for ₹ 4 crores.

T20 Career:

Inns - 25 | Runs - 966 | SR - 150.70 | HS - 122*
