Based on just two matches that he played, one cannot judge this young cricketer as India's future All-rounder star. By observing his cricketing skills and body language, it may be safely supposed that he is certain to make it big very soon. There are so many matches remained in the IPL-4 and this will provide him an ample chance to expose his more hidden talents.
