Limited white-ball experience not a deterrent for TN’s Achyuth as he excels in Vijay Hazare Trophy

The Hindu  

For a pacer playing only his second white-ball match for Tamil Nadu, C.V. Achyuth’s six-for versus Jammu & Kashmir in the fourth round of the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy was a welcome surprise. Skipper Sai Kishore felt that the inexperienced Achyuth showing that he belongs at this level served his purpose of making Tamil Nadu live up to its potential as a white-ball powerhouse. His skipper marked him as someone who is “very eager to learn and willing to work hard.” So, what has he learned, if at all, in the two matches he’s played? Sai Kishore described him as “a strong athletic guy with a sharp bouncer.” Achyuth also feels that his bouncer has been particularly effective.
