India's number 3 is having a bumper season so far and is churning out runs for fun. He missed out in the previous Test match and would be motivated to make it count in the final Test this year.

His new found positive tempo is suiting him and the team perfectly and thus he has become an integral part of the batting order. The ability to soak up the pressure and see off the shine of the new ball holds the middle order in great shape.

He also has the ability to put away bad deliveries away and can also take the game to the spinners. All this makes him a glue in the top order and a batsman whose game has peaked at the right time.
