The youngster played a crucial role in saving India from the series defeat with his match-saving ton in the fourth Test played in Manchester. With Ravindra Jadeja, he built a 203-run stand for the fifth wicket which helped India to secure a draw.
Discussing his overall performance, he racked up 248 runs and seven wickets in four contests. He will be crucial for India in the upcoming red-ball assignment against the West Indies and South Africa at home.
