This guy continues to impress

Has to be find.of this year IPL

 

Going to get big bids next auction 

 

Selectors need to take a punt and get him.into t20I, just like they did with Bumrah, Pandya,

 

Only 17 and smashing sixes with ease

[vvvslaxman]

More than the technique he has this presence that give the dressing room a calmness. Pretty cool, calm and collected in whatever he does. 

[Vijy]

He has excellent temperament for his age, but I cannot see him succeeding in Tests or (funnily) T20s. However, if he retains his temperament and works on skills, he can be an excellent No. 5 batsman for India in ODIs.

 

 

[Sachinism]

Been extremely impressive in everything he's done.

Defo one to keep an eye on

[gakgupta]

He seems someone like Dhoni....

Street-Smart and make best use of his limited skills...

He showed signs of next Dhoni ...not in terms of keeping or helicopter shot but in terms calmness and match awareness

[vvvslaxman]

We need players with temperament, strong mind. Mental midgets should be identified and eliminated.

Kohli is a strong 5'10 or a 5'11 easy. The lad is around 5'11 at the least guess he is as tall as Kohli.

i also feel he could be a good finisher if groomed properly, from what little has been demonstrated in IPL he has a good head on his shoulder & knows how to bat in a crisis. Hope he gets the support required as if he continues to play from Assam, he might not get anywhere, he would have to be pulled out of the domestic quicksand.

Good, we need another Dhoni(in his prime) to win crucial games.

[Tendulkar1996]

Good thing is he can bowl.We need a number 5 who can bowl.Vihari and parag are options.Not sure how good abhishek sharma is doing.

You don't rate Jaddu in ODIs/T20s or in all formats? I rate him as an India ATG in Tests. Since 2016, he has avgd 42.2 with the bat and taken 5 wkts per match at an avg of 23.5. Even if it's mostly in Ind, these are incredible records.

wow the punch he packs in his shot , he gets great power. Really excited for him

[neel roy]

One thing i must say is his body language and demeanour. Its cool calm even when he is fielding. The chase he pulled through with tewatia in even that he was calm. He is pretty young and if he can keep up his consistency genuine chance for him to have an india cap

He seems to be a special player and perfect fit for our middle order. Should get fast tracked and not go by stats as he seems to bat in the middle order.
