Promising Bengal pacer Ishan Porel is ready for international cricket and on current form, he can even trouble Virat Kohli, feels coach Arun Lal. "He's in great form at the moment. He's bowling deliveries that can get big batsmen out, like a K.L. Rahul or a Virat Kohli. He's doing that kind of bowling," Lal told reporters after Day 3 of the Ranji Trophy semifinal between Bengal and Karnataka.

Porel on Monday trapped star India batsman K.L. Rahul in front with a sharp inswinger to leave Karnataka reeling at 98/3, still needing 254 runs to win and reach the final. "He's bowling in that channel. You won't see him bowling one outside leg stump. He's testing you all the time. He doesn't give too many runs, that's another pressure. K.L. Rahul is at the peak of his ability at the moment. He's magnificent, terrific. It's a great achievement to get him out cheaply," Lal said.
