In the past couple of seasons, the 27-year-old Gujarat opener has made headlines with his consistent batting exploits. Priyank Panchal, who is a keen observer of the game, topped the batting charts in the Ranji Trophy last season and the recently-concluded Duleep Trophy.

Scoring 1310 runs at an average of 87.33 and 293 runs at an average of 97.67 in Ranji and Duleep Trophy respectively, Panchal has become one of the latest batting sensations in the country. His domestic performances earned him a spot in the India ‘A’ team that played New Zealand 'A' recently. Though he didn’t get any big score, he did ensure his side got off to a couple of solid starts.
