With a crop of dyed hair and a high style quotient, the lanky resembles his senior compatriot Hardik Pandya. The two of them share a similar bowling style as well, albeit Porel shares the new ball while Pandya is utilized in the middle overs.

A wicket-less outing against Australia in the opening match was followed up by a miserly five over spell against Bangladesh in the quarter-finals while he proved too hot to handle for Pakistan in the semi-finals, finishing with 4-17 off his 6 overs including two maidens.

Against Australia in the finals, Porel's two wickets at the start set the tone for the rest of the match as the rest of the bowling came together to restrict the total to just 206.

In the upcoming Vijay Hazare trophy, Porel will turn out for Bengal and will hope to wreak havoc in the company of Ashoke Dinda.
