This young lad from Delhi can return back to India with a lot of satisfaction, courtesy his great outing in the recently concluded series against Australia. He made his first appearance against England in Nottingham where he opened his account with a six. He was impressive with the gloves as well, taking 15 catches in three Tests.

He scored his maiden hundred at the Oval when India were chasing an unlikely 464 runs which included a partnership of 204 runs with KL Rahul.

He was then inducted into the squad as the main wicket-keeper ahead of the Australian series. At the end of the tour, he was the second highest run-getter in the series with 350 runs in 7 innings at an average of 58.33.

His knock of 159* in Sydney became the highest score by an Indian wicketkeeper on foreign soil. With the gloves, he was phenomenal, taking 20 catches in the series, becoming the first Indian wicketkeeper to do so. This included eleven catches he held on to in the Adelaide Test, equaling the world record for most catches in a match.
