The Karnataka boy had a stellar run in 2016, and he scored a century in all 3 formats to become only the 3rd Indian batsman to achieve the feat.
He comes after a brilliant 199 against England in the final match of the Test series, and with his form he should walk in to face the new ball with Shikhar Dhawan.
His game has seen a remarkable growth and now he has become a far more confident player against the white ball and thus would be counted upon to provide a solid start in the absence of regular opener, Rohit Sharma.
