Even though he is slow in running between the wickets , the ability to stand in crease for long time makes him suitable in test cricket. He has a wonderful ability to hit the same ball on either side. Australians have suffered most of his resistance power, and they did concede they did not know how to bowl towards him, in Australia's Indian tour 2003-04, which is the final word of compliment.
