In spite of his steady accumulation of runs, he has never received the praise usually reserved for flashier, but less successful players. Since his 1995–96 debut for Punjab, he was a reliable if unspectacular player until the 2000–01 campaign, when he bludgeoned his way into the national team with a string of massive innings. His attacking strokes are varied, but he is obstinate and pugnacious, lacking the natural grace of most left-handers.
