The fearless young left-hander is being touted as a superstar in the making after his instant impact opening the batting for Rajasthan Royals on Saturday, when he scored 34 off 20 balls in Jaipur, including three sixes and two fours.

However, Ravi Shastri has lauded the emergence of promising young batsmen in the IPL. He specifically mentioned Ayush Mhatre, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Priyansh Arya, and Prabhsimran Singh. Shastri highlighted their fearless approach and potential for international cricket. He advised caution regarding Suryavanshi, anticipating increased challenges for the young player. Shastri urged selectors to capitalise on current form when choosing players. Finally, playing natural cricket with one's own talent matters. Own self-art is a gift of God. God means Generator, Operator, and "Donor." So opportunities should be given to natural and talented art by the government.
