Having made his Ranji Trophy debut for Tamil Nadu last October, the left-arm quick has since had a stint with the senior India side as a net bowler, earned his maiden IPL gig, with Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and entered the BCCI's pool of targeted fast bowlers.

 

 

Most recently, the 26-year-old emerged as the highest wicket-taker among seamers in the Duleep Trophy, with ten strikes in two games at an average of 24.10, including two four-wicket hauls.

 

At six feet four inches, he hits the deck and generates extra bounce. He also swings the ball both ways. India's selectors and even IPL franchises have cast their nets wide for tall fast bowlers in the recent past.
