Vishnu Vinod what a knock, such clean hits 💥
— Bharath (@carromball_)
Hope he gets gametime in the IPL next year.
Vishnu Vinod, if properly given a run of games in the IPL, can actually become a brilliant multi-phase hitter. Can be used either at the top of the order as a powerplay hitter, or maybe at 5-6 as a slog-overs tonker. Plus, he's at the age when he has to be given his chances.
