zubinpepsi Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 looks to have more attitude and arrogance than results to show for... why is he so special? I dont remem much about any useful contribution from him but keep hearing rave reviews about him.. flamy and saik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global.Baba Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) For starters he is only 19-20. His bowling is at best Kedar Jadhav level (which is a compliment). I remember it being better last year but anyways.... He is a decent fielder and his batting has immense potential as displayed in that game where Samson played that knock. He is a fierce hitter of the cricket ball. Age+potential+domestic performances make him a hot prospect. Let’s stop rating players either ways on 1-2 IPL knocks please. As far as attitude goes, why are you surprised, every young cricketer has that obnoxious attitude these days. Hopefully he matures.

IndianRenegade Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 At his age he is probably earning more & is more famous than people in his circle. The game will take care of his attitude, it even humbles the best. With a little more experience he will mellow down or let hope he does. sandeep, sorak, Cricspin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Not every player who plays IPL has to be "special". As for guys like Parag, they are young, have talent that can be developed, and simply a better option than some of the others ... As for arrogance or other tastes, that is personal. Fans should be commenting more on the performance cowboysfan and Adamant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ankit_sharma03 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) Whats so special - Gift of power and timing (just hear the sound when he hits the ball) and he is making an effort to develop a second skill which young batsman arent Performance- he has played some team saving knocks 2 seasons ago for RR, just been inconsistent. HE is very young...consistency is a problem for young players 1 hour ago, zubinpepsi said: why is he so special?

Sonix768 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Well, he is young and has decent ability in batting and good in fielding. So show-off attitude is understandable. Hope he puts more reasonable performance this year. There is another similar player, Priyam Garg. I guess he also played a decent hand against CSK last season. Wonder why he isnt playing yet.

Lone Wolf Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think guy has great potential.. It's natural to have some swag at his age. He just needs extra focus on cricket perhaps to turn into a consistent performer.. India A stint could do wonders for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoonyaSifar Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 A 19 yr old showing he belongs to the higher levels of cricket. Took Gayle wicket and scored 25(11) vs Punjab Bowled 2 overs for 16 runs vs DC, scored 2(5) Bowked an over for 16 runs and scored 3(7) Is a great fielder. Was in great form in the domestic T20 tournament. Why wouldn't a franchise want to groom a young player like him? He will get dropped if his performances do not pick up. Not the end of the world for him. Hasa long way to go. Why do we call every confident youngster not confirming to the traditional image of meek Indian cricketers of the past as arrogant?

Exactly, dnt get this idea to turn every cricketer into a fake good boy image If he does his traditional bidhu dance- ppl who find it cringy....get a life If he is expressive and someone has a problem- Get a life Same use to be said for kohli, pandya, KP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigg Brother Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Nothing wrong with being arrogant at 19. Game and life has a way to humble many. Among the lower middle order batting prospects, he is one of the better one. Edited April 20, 2021 by Bigg Brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Another question that comes to my mind that why were guys like Samad & Riyan Parag not picked for last U19 WC? Some horrendous selections did took place. Dravid probably left the job & some domestic fella was coaching the side. Or I guess the talent scouting wasn't that good enough.
