Speaking for numbers, Gavaskar heaped praise on the Delhi batsman for carrying his form forward and not taking it easy at all, adding “he is looking like a million bucks”.

Speaking to Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “He has been in a tremendous right from the start of the season. He is carrying his form and he is not taking it easy at all. Sometimes, batsmen tend to take the good form for granted, get into bad habits. But he hasn’t got into any.”
He further opined, “Look at some of his shots. These are the shot which has always got runs. He hasn’t tried to do anything different. These are the shots that he plays in all forms of the games, in the longer formats as well. And they are paying for him and he is looking like a million bucks.
