Even as his thin six-foot frame disappeared beyond the sight screen and into the bowels of the facility in the heart of the city, it wasn't hard to come to grips with Rohit Sharma's assessment of his opening partner a day before the Test. "The guy has got real talent," the skipper said. "He has got the game to play in all sorts of conditions. Obviously, very new to international cricket, so it's very hard to judge right now. But he has got all the ingredients for success at this level."
