The kid is a genius
yesterday proved he is built completely different. The kid isn't just a raw power hitter ,he genuinely has a good cricket brain.
There are such hitters in every team , but the only issue with such player is the post powerplay game , for example yesterday marsh post powerplay game cost LSG the match , but this kid smashed 68 of 22 post powerplay, He gets more threatening as he settles and does not need unorthodox shots to carry strike rate .Any day if he values his wicket and can manage to play 40 balls it is over for opponent .
The coolest thing about him is how fast he learns. If a team finds a weakness or tries a specific plan against him in one game, he fixes it immediately. Next match, he’ll absolutely demolish that exact same ball. He adapts faster than players who have been playing for ten years.
But the exact moment I realized he’s "The One" was how he handled his ego when Jaiswal was on fire. He’s a teenager, every franchise wants him, and the media is calling him the next big thing. It would be so easy to get greedy, try to match Jaiswal shot-for-shot, and throw his wicket away trying to look cool. Instead, he just quietly took singles, gave Jaiswal the strike, and kept his calm. He didn't care about getting a century, he just cared about the target. For a kid that young to completely forget his ego and play for the team is insane.
Every time he talks, it's never about his own runs, it's always about winning.
Honestly, it just hit me yesterday,we’ve always been the franchise that finds raw talent and grooms them (Sanju, Jaiswal, etc.). But we’ve never really had such generational megastar like who can even make my mom watch cricket 😭. It's feels like a personal pride when someone praise him
Hope the management never let go off him
