His bowling is certainly not on par yet, but looks promising nevertheless 

True.

[SUMO]

I think he has great batting potential can bat at 5 or 6 even
As a batsman he can be as good as suresh raina

Raina is not particularly good. He averages around 35 at a SR of 90+ at Nos. 5-6. Many teams have players with similar or better records.

35 at 93 is not a bad record at 6 or 7 IMO
Pandya's sr will be definitely 100-110 if he can maintain 35 avg after 100 games it will be gold even ben stokes lacks that as of now

Stokes is close to this - avg of 34 at nearly 100 SR. Maxwell is another with similar stats.

Apart from (potentially) QDK, no team had (or has) a keeper-batsman like Dhoni anyway. If our next keeper averages 30 at a SR of 90, I'd take it.

Don't worry pant will do much much better than that
I was refering to finisher like dhoni...52 avg sr 90 at peak with such a cool head and consistency 
Even australia didn't find next bevan

I will wait to see this guy in ODI cricket before pant-gasming.

someone or the other of pant,kishan,samson will come good for sure.
Rahul as keeper is also one option

Dude is already getting injured too often - we should take care of him since he's our best batsman of the next generation amongst the established ones.

Agreed but wicketkeeping I think is the safest job to keep one self injury free
You will rarely seen a wicketkeeper getting cramped or muscle tear and missing out for 6 months

But this guy is getting injured even while playing shots

This is not true.

Fantastic move by kohli to play pandya in this test match v Sri Lanka . With away tour coming up in sa this lad could be the answer . 

 

Brave and positive move by kohli . Showing forward thinking and planning by him in tests. 

 

Why does he not show same forward planning in odis ? Me thinks certain lobbies to strong for some players in this format 

[cowboysfan]

This thread is laughable.I still can't figure out what people see in him, I guess we all want a medium pace all rounder.

[lanka-girln]

Well he is Still not  at least not for the moment !!! But it will be exciting to see him become one. It would be greatly up to his Mentors and Coaches. Hope Mr Shashtri will do a good job with him and make him a wonderful all rounder.....
