The 39-year-old is also known for having a smile on his face even in the toughest situations. His coach Vijay had given him his nickname - Gabbar which later got famous in 2013 when he started his iconic Kabaddi-style wicket celebration. His another name is famous among fans and that is - The Man Of ICC Tournaments.
