Thilak Naidu, by all accounts, is a case of nurture triumphing over nature. His sense of wicketkeeping is academic rather than spontaneous, so although he effects routine catches and stumpings well enough, his glovework is not likely to pull off the difficult chance that turns a Test. Naidu's batting is powerful and hard-hitting; he has a very respectable first-class average, and if he does make it into the national side, more runs will be expected of him than of most other wicketkeepers in India. But Naidu must still push his wicketkeeping skills that extra distance to be serious competition to Parthiv Patel and Ajay Ratra. (Samanth Subramanian)
