Ojha
Former cricketer and commentator
“In U-19 cricket, whether it was the England tour, Australia’s, or the Asia Cup-across emerging teams, every field, every pitch, every condition-he’s dominated. He’s consistent against all types of bowlers, delivering massive hundreds every time. In my view, he’s perfectly ready T20 chance. Team India management or the BCCI could slot him into the World Cup squad, and I’m 100% confident he’ll keep progressing if given the chance.”

“The way he was batting, I was seeing that double century today. If he had played 10-15 more balls, it would have been a double century. Anyway, what he has done is also very commendable. But there is no limit to greatness. A person should enhance his performance and excellence at every step.”
