Shiv Sundar Das has the temperament and the technique of an ideal opening batsman; only a little luck seems to be missing.
Shiv Sundar Das came to the international cricket as an answer to India's long search for an opening batsman; though after few impressive performances, there were questions raised about his merit in test cricket.
Shiv Sundar Das usually got the start but failed to convert them into big innings. Apart from his two hundreds against the weakling Zimbabwe, Shiv Sundar Das has not scored a hundred against any of the other teams.
Shiv Sundar Das' last test was the series against West Indies. He, along with his co-opener, Wasim Jaffer, struggled against the tall West Indian fast bowlers operating on bouncy wickets.
Shiv Sundar Das has been a consistent performer in the domestic cricket and hopes to make it to the test side some day.
