It seems to be coming true. On the other hand, KL looked the real deal even say 5 years back and I had written a piece on him.
Sanju Samson is another one that I have tended to see him as a bit of a hype. Pant looks like a better prospect. Moreover, Manish Pandey should get a chance in shorter forms. India is certainly wasting his talent. He is one of those who plays shots in unusual areas.
I find pandey problem is that he isn't attractive enough in terms of stroke play or gets massive numbers for a big state.
he always seems to be a forgotten man even in IPL terms people don't rate the guy even when he gets scores.
pretty crazy to say that about a man averaging 48 in first class terms.
like you say he scores runs in unusual areas it feels like the selectors don't like that and prefer players that play the traditional way.
personally don't think india would pick someone like Steve Smith, Greme Smith or anyone with a weird playing style even if they were scoring so many runs in domestic cricket.
