Kohli praise caps Hameed's 'awesome' rise
.
Haseeb Hameed's tour has been ended prematurely by injury but he has already made a lasting impression on team-mates and opponents.
Kohli was asked about Hameed's knock in the post-match press conference and the Indian said, "I wish him a speedy recovery. He showed great character for a 19-year-old, to be honest, at this level."
"He put his hand up when his team wanted him to do it. The way he played with (James) Anderson towards end (for the 10th wicket), showed great maturity. He knew exactly what he wanted to do.
"And you can sense it as a captain, this guy is intelligent and knows the game. I think he is a great prospect for England. He is definitely going to be a future star in all forms if he keeps persisting with his skill. Really impressed with him and that is why I patted him on the back. It was an innings full of character, something you need to applaud," he added.

Hameed hit an unbeaten 59 batting for 10 minutes short of three hours with the little finger of his left hand so badly broken that coach Trevor Bayliss described it as being in “two pieces”. He took only two paracetamol tablets to help ease the pain and batted knowing another blow might result in a far more serious injury.
Bayliss also revealed that Hameed was forced to devise a new way of gripping the bat to ease the pain from his broken hand which will now require surgery and has ended his tour to India.
Hameed will fly to home to have a metal plate inserted into the finger to help the healing process and be fit for the start of next season.
He leaves India having earned the respect of his team-mates and the coach’s praise ringing in his ears. Virat Kohli, the captain of India, shook his (good) hand after “an innings full of character” from a player he believes is “definitely going to be a future star” of the game.
“It’s a break that is all the way through the finger – the finger’s in two pieces so it’s an injury that the medical people say if he gets another knock on it, especially in the field, it could bend it right back so it’s best to get it done as soon as we can,” said Bayliss.
“There’s plenty of other guys who have got hit and made a big song and dance about it. Obviously he’s got a big pain threshold. I think there’s a lot of guys in there in awe of what he’s been through. The lack of showing any pain and guts and determination is a good sign.
“If you’d have seen him in the change-room, though, you wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong with him. It’s a great sign, the sort of attitude you want going forward. He wants to stay and play the last two Tests, he wouldn’t take no for an answer. His old man said: 'Just tape it up, he’ll be all right.'
"Not only can he play but it’s great to see an attitude like that. We’ll make sure he gets back and gets it done so he’s right to go early next season.”
Hameed batted three times in the nets on Monday to test out the injury, which he actually sustained in the second Test in Visakhapatnam when he was hit by the fourth ball of the second innings. England believe that blow may have left a small crack in the finger which became more serious when he was struck on the first morning of this match.
“He was sore yesterday, he went over to net three times and the first two times weren’t too successful. He was working out a way with his little finger off the bat,” said Bayliss. “Once he worked it out he was quite comfortable. It’s a hell of a skill to have – to change the way you play to combat that. A couple of headache tablets and out he went.”

I didn't notice PPers talking about it, but I was impressed to see him trying to bat with a broken finger and try many grips when match was going on. He played the best knock from Eng side in the last inning with broken finger and I was impressed with his ability to farm the strike. He sheltered Anderson and took most of the strike.
Some of the praise may be also due to him not irking Indians by sledging or doing antics , but he impressed me a lot for a 19 year old kid. He should have a bright future if he continues with the same application.
