The Englishman has so far already scored 499 runs in 8 innings, at an average of over 71. He already has 3 centuries and 2 fifties against his name.

He is followed by West Indian Shimron Hetmyer (227 runs) - who has a 16.15% share in the total number of runs scored off the bat by the Royals, so far.
