Table.unpack not working as expected

So I’m sending data to add to a custom leaderboard, which every player has.
The problem is that its giving out a nil on the client.

Server:

	if Data ~= nil then
		local datatoSend = {
			['Username'] = player.Name,
			['Coins'] = Data.Coins,
			['Rebirths'] = Data.Rebirths,
			['level'] = Data.Level,
		}
		server.fireallclients(7, datatoSend) -- to add to leaderboard
	end

client:

		events.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(atype, data)
			print('updating leaderboard!')
			if atype == 7 then
				local playerName, coins, rebirths, level = table.unpack(data)
              	print(playerName)				
			end
		end)

table.unpack() doesn’t work with dictionaries. Can’t you just index data.Username to get the player’s name?

There’s not much point in declaring additional variables when you can just index the dictionary’s keys/fields.
