Rajpoot is highly rated bowler by the former Indian quick Vengatesh Prasath

The Utter Pradesh born young fast bowler came into the limelight when he scalped four wickets for just 14 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the recently concluded IPL season.

His performance in the last edition of IPL earned him a call-up to the India A side. He did reasonably well for India A in four-day games in England last month. He took a fifer in his first game against West Indies A using his steeper bouncers which he bowls at ease.

In the four-day match against England Lions a few weeks back, he was threatening England opener cook throughout the day where eventually Rajpoot won that long battle by knocking him over which shows Rajpoot's temperament to bowl all day with consistent guile.

He would give Ishant a good hand at other ends as his height is really helpful in any ground around the world. Rajpoot is a tall guy - more than 6 feet and also he is in form. He will be an asset if he sets his tone when India needed his aggressive short deliveries.
