                        The Indian Athletic Wicket keeper and Hard hitting batsman struggles to score big runs, but he did well at the slog overs.

Rahul Sharma

                        India’s Young Gun who known spinner but his bowling is very similar to Anil Kumble’s bowling which is in-between the medium pace bowling and leg spin.
