The new Rahul Dravid?

Suresh Menon is mighty impressed with M Vijay's turn as opener in the Brabourne Test. He suggests on dreamcricket.com that Vijay might be "the Rahul Dravid of the next generation."

Vijay played the medium pacers comfortably, getting out of the way of the short-pitched deliveries both easily and elegantly, and when Muttiah Muralidaran came on, drove him past cover with the minimum of effort. He brought up his fifty with a six, and at no point in the 200-plus partnership with Sehwag did he look like a man playing in only his second Test. It was a confident, professional innings that was aesthetically pleasing as well, and that is a combination of virtues few young Indian batsmen bring to their efforts.
