Durban's Super Giants Sign Brandon King For SA20 Season 3

T20 World Cup: Durban’s Super Giants have bolstered their batting unit for the SA20 Season 3 with the signing of West Indies opener Brandon King. King, 29, is a vastly experienced T20 batter, having played 142 T20 matches, including 55 T20Is for the West Indies.

The right-handed batter was a central figure for the West Indies in the recent T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean before suffering a side strain in the Super Eight match against England in St. Lucia that curtailed his participation in the tournament. The Jamaican has struck 3,349 T20 runs at an average of 27.51 and a strike rate of 133.31. This run-tally includes two centuries and 21 half-centuries.

He was particularly prolific over the last 12 months, being named in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Team of Tournament 2023, after amassing 288 runs for the now-defunct Jamaica Tallawahs. King was also superb in the T20I series against the Proteas in the build-up to the T20 World Cup, where he topped the run-scoring charts across both teams with 179 runs at an average of 53.0 during the three-match series.
