Feels good when Sai Kishore simply performs. That he bowls nicely is nearly a given. High quality performer.

Sai Kishore is likely one of the most interesting spinners in home cricket, it’s such a disgrace he doesn’t get to play extra video games.

GT use tewatia solely as a batter which has ruined his possibilities to get into the indian aspect, such a peaceful head throughout strain… He was a fairly first rate spinner too.
