Bennett emerged as one of the standout performers of the tournament, leading Zimbabwe’s batting charts and producing several memorable innings against top-tier opposition.
He struck an unbeaten 64 to guide Zimbabwe to a famous victory over Australia and followed it up with other composed knocks that kept the team competitive in their group matches.
His most eye-catching performance came in the form of a near century — a blistering 97 not out against India — showcasing his ability to dominate world-class bowling attacks and perform under pressure.
The signing of Bennett follows fellow Zimbabwean Blessing Muzarabani’s recent acquisition by the Knight Riders, signalling growing interest in Zimbabwean talent across top-tier T20 leagues.
