The youngster has impressed in his debut ODI series

When Kohli and Rohit Sharma were batting in the middle, 300 looked highly accessible for the visitors. However, once Rahane was forced to return to the hut after a run-out, this 21-year-old took charge of the situation.

He was directly responsible for the next four wickets and his terrific spell in the middle overs crippled the Indian innings, thereby making the Men in Blue settle for a total of 274/7 at the end of fifty overs. He dismissed Sharma and Pandya on consecutive deliveries in the 43rd over of the innings.

His figures for the day read 4 for 51 in 9 overs, which is nothing short of splendid in this format of the game. The seamer now has two back-to-back impressive performances in the series and has made a big statement for himself in the past couple of months.
