QuarantineTormentino Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 First class average of 81 how long before he makes his test debut? Surely can’t ignore stats like these for long BacktoCricaddict and Vijy 2 Link to comment

putrevus Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hey should be in the test squad for sure.He should be playing India A matches.Lot of middle order spots are up for grabs, he is only 24 so he can be part of the team for a good decade. nevada 1 Link to comment

Sean Bradley Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 He has been a beast with the bat and knocking on for a Test Call up for some time now. Could well be a perfect replacement for Pujara as a Test Purist in the future. Should definitely be picked in the next home season. People who think he's unfit, well unfit by T20 standards, but okay for Test Cricket, can be developed as a slip catcher. raki05 and BacktoCricaddict 2 Link to comment

Looking at pics, one might reach that conclusion, but I keep coming back to the fact that it hasn't hampered him from piling on the runs at a high avg and fast clip - domination. So, maybe he has test-endurance and mental strength, but is not an LOI guy. It can't be easy - mentally and physically - consistently doing what he has done in the sweltering heat of Indian summers. tweaker and Vijy 2 Link to comment
Vijy Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 he has already played in A squad. Now's the time for him to make it to the Ind squad (of 15-18), regardless of whether he gets selected in XI or not. Mosher 1 Link to comment

putrevus Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 He is a big boy.Fitness is the only question but his avg of 81 should not be ignored.Scoring runs when team is down is always a great thing. Link to comment
Sean Bradley Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Gem of a knock today, a real gold in today's world of T20 shooperstars who are all about hairstyles, tattoos, ear piercing, advertisements, fake fame etc. A purist batter, would love to see him in the Indian MO soon. Where is the coach RD when you need him the most ? Can't let this guy fly under the selection radar this time. raki05 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 He reminded me of old fashioned Test cricketer from the 80s. Wristy. I think India should try fast tracking him. If they allow him to waste more time in domestic that is a travesty. Reward his consistency. Vijy 1 Link to comment
