However, he played impactful kcks in final two Tests at SCG (97) and Brisbane (87* where he also hit winning boundary) and h a lion's share in helping India retain Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

'He has proven himself': Br Hogg

"I would be putting him re right w because he has got confidence and belief. He has proven himself with two match-winning kcks in this Test series. You can’t get better than that playing for India on Australian soil. I would put him in place of Iyer. Keep your all-round options re for batting and bowling depth. He will be re for eir Iyer or Sanju Samson,” said Hogg while speaking on his Youtube channel.

“He is hard to bowl to because he plays a variety of shots that are different to any or batsman. Get him in re,” two-time World Cup winner ded.
