The 19-year-old revealed that he didn’t get the chance to bat in club matches, so he practiced to improve his drive at the nets.

“I did not get to bat much in matches during my club cricket days. I used to spend a lot of time in nets and focused on cover drives as it is my favorite shot. That practice helped me improve this shot,” he maintained.
