What followed was not just adoration but criticism at how Pandey handled his new found star status. He made his ODI debut six years later in July, 2015; three games later he has scored an unbeaten ton against Australia shepherding his captain through a tricky chase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot; href=&quot;http://www.dailyo.in/sports/ipl-salaries-virat-kohli-dhoni-chris-gayle-ajinkya-rahane-bcci-ddca/story/1/8240.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Also read: Kohli and others' salaries revealed: Now make your balance sheets public, BCCI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_4&quot;&gt;There's more to Manish Pandey than these two tons though: He has 16 First Class centuries, 22 50s, a 50-plus first class&amp;nbsp;average; three hundreds in List A, a 90-plus strike rate. And yeah, his state senior, a certain Rahul Dravid thinks rather highly of him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_5&quot;&gt;Manish Pandey, pumped up Pandey&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_6&quot;&gt;Clearing his front foot&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_7&quot;&gt;Clearing thru covers&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_8&quot;&gt;Pump up the Pandey&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
