Mumbai U-23 coach Amit Pagnis was all praise for the 19-year-old after his performance in the Talyarkhan Memorial. “He conceded only five runs from two overs [18th and 20th overs] and also got the priced wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal [of MCA Colts],” Pagnis told Mid-Day. “He also bowled well in the two trial matches, claiming two wickets in each game. Yorkers, bouncers and slower ones are his main strengths.”
