Prithvi has actually been carrying out well.

When he made his debut he scored a hundred.

Its difficult to score a century or start your career, especially in Tests, with a century.

I truly like his batting.

I make certain he will do well as he has got the possibility as soon as again.Suryakumar Yadav (AP Photo)After his incredible exploits in T20Is and ODIs, Suryakumar Yadav has been selected in the Test team vs Australia.

Do you believe it is the ideal call?Surya is an exceptional player.

When he got a chance in the T20s, he carried out.

When he got the opportunity in ODIs, he carried out too.

I am sure he will do well in Tests.

Just like Virat and Rohit, Surya is a three-format gamer.

He will go a long way.

He has actually got the right chances and essential is that he has delivered.Whether you play ODIs or T20Is, each and every single cricketer wishes to play the Test format.

It has its own charm.

Test cricket is every cricketers dream.

And Surya chased that dream and it came true for him.

There are lots of players who go on and perform in limited-overs cricket but they never have the ability to carry out in Tests.

Surya has got the chance and he will do well.

Ishan too has got the chance together with Surya.

I hope these 2 people get this huge chance and carry out well.KL Rahul (ANI Photo)Do you believe KL Rahul is being offered a long rope?KL Rahul is talented and we have seen how he sends the challengers to the cleaners.

There are some shots he plays and those are just incredible.

KL Rahul does not have consistency.

He is not constant.

If he deals with his consistency, he will turn into one of the very best batsmen worldwide.

He has a number of shots and the timing he has is extraordinary.

He requires to be constant to bet a long time.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not part of the T20I series vs New Zealand.

Do you think its time India must look beyond Rohit and Virat in T20Is?They (Rohit and Virat) are skilled players and played a lot of T20I cricket for the Indian group.

We have actually seen many match-winning knocks from both Virat and Rohit.

However we require to offer children and brand-new gamers a possibility now.

Umran Malik (AFP Photo)Your take on speed gun Umran Malik ...

He (Umran) is a brilliant bowler.

You do not get these kinds of fast bowlers quickly.

He is young and needs to learn a lot.

Speed is great however he offers a lot of space to the players.

If you provide room to a batsman, then you will distribute a great deal of runs.

Whenever he has bowled wicket to wicket and bowled with accurate line and length, he has got wickets.

If you see his statistics, he handed out 40 runs and 50 runs in his spells.

So, he needs to work on it.

If he begins managing the flow of runs, say 20 runs in 4 overs or 30 runs in 4 overs, he will get more wickets immediately.

He is young and I make certain he will be offered a long rope.
