O'Keefe will undoubtedly be on cloud nine after his sensational outing in Pune. He put doubts in the minds of the Indian batsman by pushing in the arm ball mixed with some sharp turning deliveries.

However, he should be wary of complacency going into the Bangalore Test. Things can turn around quickly in India and they have batsmen who have played much better spinners with ease. O'Keefe's biggest challenge after the 12-wicket haul would be to remain patient.

It is natural to get frustrated if wickets don't come easily, but he will have to remain patient and forget about his match haul in Pune if he is to replicate that kind of success right through the series.
