Honestly, ignoring this man for fantasy is a rookie mistake. His economy rate in that sticky corridor is gold for mid-season consistency, not just boundary counts.

The detail about bowling the same line six times an over is key. That repeatable action near off-stump neutralizes modern T20 hitting zones perfectly.

Yaar, this article makes me miss the old Ranji grind proper. Mithun Manhas didn't need 150kph pace; he just suffocated batters with patience, which is rarer today.

@Shubham_Rao Good point on economy, but don't forget the toss impact mentioned. On a skiddy track, dew changes everything for a bowler like him, shifting the whole setup.
