He is not 17. I remember in Indian forum people were discussing how his father and he cheated his age. He is definitely not 17.
This is what upsets me the most.When somebody says X,Y,Z is a future prospect on the basis of IPL performance.
What has Bisla done ?
Why is Manish Pandey still not a part of the national squad ?
Where are Paul Valthaty and Swapnil Asnodkar ?
What is Manpreet Gony doing ?
What about Aditya Tare ?
Where is Shadab Jakati ?
Soon to be added... Sarfaraz Khan,Chahal,Surya kumar Yadav,Bumrah etc etc
IPL success rarely translates into international success be it t20,ODI or tests.It has been 8 years and yet we fail to realize it.
Ye sab team mein ayenge toh Manoj Tiwary,Uthappa,KL Rahul,Hanuma Vihari,Kedar Jadhav kahan jayenge ??
India should send a team to the World T20 with just the best Indian performers of the last 2-3 IPL seasons and see how they fare. Not take into account their names or international pedigree. For eg. if Kohli isn't part of the best 11 statisticially though IPL then so be it.
Would love to see how the team fares
For all we know the team could get a first round knockout but with a WT20 every 2 yrs I feel its worth sacrificing one tournament to see where do these guys stand
Pretty much this . Please stop hyping players based on 1 inning in a garbage league.
did well in u19 WC too
If the IPL is the measuring stick for future talent then Sohail Tanvir should be the best bowler the World has ever seen by now.
IPL = no measurement for future success
IPL = Bollywood, Medicore Cricket, Rich men getting richer
Doesn't look anything special to be honest. His technique isn't really flattering. Slogger, as they say.
sloggers are needed in T20 and ODI

Could do with a diet.
Looks like a young ranatunga.

If he maintains this diet he will soon become young dwayne leverock.
is U-19 WC good for judging talent?He was pretty good there at the age of 16

Apart from taking a few idiots' word, do you have any proof?
Played an absolutely rubbish innings of 8(8) when the RR was less than 10.
A lot of mistimed scoops and wild slogs in such a short stay.
One could clearly see that the previous knock had got to him.
Clearly nowhere near Yusuf Pathan let alone![]()
Don't judge by a few innings alone.
Only 17, and actually LOOKS 17, unlike the Pakistani boys.
He's one for the future.
then i hope you remember Ishant sharma,
UNLIKE the pakistani boys, lol ..
Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravindra Jadeja
Ambati Rayudu
Mohit Sharma
Akshar Patel
Some of the IPL finds who did well in ODIs too
No one noticed Ashwin till he performed in IPL .Selectors kept picking Harbajan despite Ashwin performance for TN.Jadeja, Ashwin and Rayudu are not IPL finds. They've been around longer than that.

Our MSD replacement . He will be take over the finishers role in the Indian team .
He's indian! and indians know how to enhance a batting talent... unless he doesn't have the personality to improve I am sure the indians would make him special .. he has a good hand eye coordination saw him at ease in under 19 world cup and had time for his shots ... if it was pakistan i would assume he would be destroyed by the age of 20 ...

He knows that if he doesnt improve then he will be left behind and someone else will take their chance. The reality is that he will be competing with around 15 good players for the 4 middle order batting slots
whereas in PK, a young talent is normally wasted because they either lack the intelligence and work ethic to improve their game( Ahmed Shahzed, Umer Akmal, Imran Farhat, Tufeeq Umer etc), and combined with poor domestic pitches and dreadful standards of bowling, they just dont develop.
If it was Pakistani he would destroy himself by age 20.
Fixed![]()
NO what really happens is a batting talent is thrown in as a cure of all pakistani batting woes!! made to play roles hes ill suited for ... dragged to dirt ,,,, miracles then are expected of him and he is constantly reminded how he is a failure based on his talent! and then discarded only to be recalled after a week![]()
Or what really happens is, he starts with a bang, then oppositions figure him out, he starts playing random slogs in desperation, and gets demoted down the order, continues whining about injustices and because the fans support their likes blindly; they also start whining about injustices meted to such a player, and everyday
is just constant nonsense about how a great talent was destroyed.
This is what happens in a state with no personal accountability.
The blame game and moving on.
He played well even on green mambas dished by Bangladesh in u19 WC.. I have high hopes from him.. He can be our finisher for future..
He needs to lose the fat though

He is an old school cricketer from teh 80s .I have to say he has missed the bus. With plethora of batting talent around, it is very difficult to identify who would make it in the big stage. India has to do a lot of iteration. It is very hard for yesteryear prodigies to make the cut.
I Remember in the first (or maybe 2nd IPL) there was also a similarly named guy in Shane warnes team who was a fast bowler. Do you know who he was and whatever happened to him?

Isn’t he a wicket keeper, if I remember correctly from his U19 days?He is an old school cricketer from teh 80s .I have to say he has missed the bus.

If so he can still have a breakthrough
Both Shaw and Gill are top order batsmen. Our middle order is still not sorted out.2016 batch. Pant was the keeper. Ironically the captain of that side was also a keeper. Isan Kishan. Sarfraz is only 22. Technically he has a chance. But with guys like P shaw, Gill around it is very hard to break through. He needed to stand out like Gill did in his first season. He is still averaging 52 in first class. But List A average is only 36. Just think about it Agarwal is averaing 50 plus in List A at a strike rate of 101. He is still nowhere close to be getting selected. Only way he can walk into Indian side is by adopting lower order role and doing well. All young cricketers should be smart about their career. They should focus on which spot is available and focus on that.

Basically Gill will never get a chance until Dhawan/Rohit retire? That is ridiculous. Good batsmen can start their career at no.4 or no.5.
Or Iyer or Pandey fail.
It’s absurd to conclude Sarfraz of 22-23 yrs age as a failure and missed the bus longtime.
This guy has returned a reformed man with improved fitness and very focussed. 2 big innings is a result of his improved fitness.
Looking at highlights of 2 innings he seems to be playing in V and more tighter defense.
He has rescued Mumbai from 3 top order collapses but one against Karnataka in vain.
He hit straight sixes of fast bowlers and spinners and looks serious talent.
For me he looked very much like srilankan gem Aravinda De Silva who played clutch innings!!! Watch out
He has admitted to cutting out some instinctive shots. And has obviously improved his overall fitness. He is maturing as person too.
Mumbai needed a batter of his type as it looks like Iyer and Shaw will be busy for some time with team India.
