He has used nothing but GM for quite a while, except a special he got from Sehwag which is not not match legal.

Profile is huge, he gets the very best clefts so oversized in all areas except handle which is taped up to make the bottom hand bigger. Low middle.

what tape does he use and does this effect the pick up?

Standard medical tape, the flesh coloured stuff. Improves the pick up.

he has a long strip up the back of the handle aswell to make it more oval and reduce twisting in off centre hits

Found this. Not a detailed pic but you get the general idea on the end result.

I might give it a try.
