Although his returns dipped slightly in the second half of the tournament, the left-hander had already established himself as one of the competition\u2019s most fearless PowerPlay batters.<\/p>\n<p>Now representing India-A in the Tri-Nation Series in Sri Lanka, Arya is showing that his game extends well beyond the T20 template.
