So you want someone like that.” When things are going well, confidence rises, you want to bleed them. If you can bleed someone like him, then you get two all-rounders like him and Hardik Pandya, who are gold in Indian cricket right now. over time,” Uthappa said.

Exciting to see Ramandeep play

“I’d love to see him play. I think he’s one of the most exciting prospects we’ve seen in recent memory. He’s a useful all-rounder, his performance in the IPL is second to none. As a finisher, he’s played 62 balls, made 125 runs, fielded incredibly well, bowled when asked. If you are batting on 200 and fielding as well as Ramandeep and we saw more of that when he played, I am really excited to see him play India A in the recently concluded series in Oman,” Uthappa said.
