Left-arm spinner who can bat - exactly what Team India needs! His stats are mind-blowing for a 15-year-old. Hope DDCA gives him proper guidance and doesn't let politics affect his growth.

While his achievements are impressive, I hope the media doesn't put too much pressure on him. We've seen many young talents fade away due to excessive hype. Let him develop at his own pace.
