I am looking at his first class cricket statistics, he has played only one first class match. He hasn't played much in the longer format either so I think it's just because of his pace. There are some other bowlers who are similar to him who are above 145-150.
He bowls at 100 speed, but I think he only wants to get an IPL contract. They are happy with it and this is the end.
