India vs England 2016: How the debutants fared


Haseeb Hameed has been England’s find of the season

#3 Keaton Jennings

Keaton Jennings has all the skills to be a dependable batsman

Son of former South African mentor and coach, Rey Jennings, the South African-born Jennings impressed on his debut series.

Keaton made his debut in the fourth Test against a vociferous Mumbai crowd, as is the case in innumerable occasions at the Wankhede. It was a mixed bag for the man from Transvaal, Johannesburg. He was far from fluttered by the nerves of a debut match and struck a maiden Test ton.

The fact that he was steered by the captain himself at the other end, eased the pressure on the youngster. It eventually required a peach of a delivery from Ashwin to get rid of Jennings, but not after he played a marathon 70 overs on the opening Day.

‘Cricket is a great leveler’- Jennings’ second innings story was pretty similar. After a century on Day one, he didn’t survive long and was adjudged LBW of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. In his second Test, he played well enough to gather yet another half-century. England has a reason to smile looking at the breed of players they are bringing into limelight.
