More like laxman,the way he plays with the tail....chepu is still the next dravid.....srt slot open between rat and rohit :--D

Looks pretty good. Will see some more tests before calling him the "real deal" though.

3 really good knocks so early in his career - 96 at Durban, 118 at Napier and now 103 at Lord's. :hatsoff:

Wanted to write Laxman, but he has all the Dravid mannerisms. But yeah since he is a No.5 you can call him Laxman.

I think Pujara is both Dravid (in defense) and Laxman (in stroke play). I don't see any Dravid or Laxman in Rahane. He is pretty different from other Indian batsmen of the past or current generation.

Champion knock. Champion player. One of the best by an Indian. He checked out the vidoes of Kohli, Hussey, Dhoni to learn how they batted with the tail.
