espnstar.com’s Rajarshi Gupta caught up with New South Wales Blues and KKR all-rounder Moises Henriques for an exclusive chat.

Given what he did for the Kolkata Knight Riders in South Africa, a lot was expected of Henriques. The young man has made quite a name for himself in the shortest format of the game.

While KKR have struggled to come to terms with the competition in the Indian Premier League, Henriques stood out in the team and he has done his reputation no harm in the Airtel Champions League Twenty20.

It is no wonder then that he has been more comfortable playing for the Blues, a team that is closer to his heart.

"I love playing for the Blues, more than the Knight Riders, because I am with my brothers. I have been around with these guys for a long time now."

The soft-spoken, benign cricketer has done what he does his best. He has stood up for the team and been counted.

Be it a controlled fifty to partner Phillip Hughes on a tricky Delhi wicket against the Sussex Sharks or taking wickets in the crucial middle overs or facing the heat from a savage Kieron Pollard, Henriques has done it all.

The 23-year old, considered by many to herald the next generation of Australian super stars, is a study in contrast to his already established seniors.

Henriques is more open to Indian culture, appears more at ease in the country and has a lot of respect for all things Indian when he pointed out the fervour around the Airtel CL T20, "Indians don't do anything by the half."

Is that an indication of how Australia will play their cricket from now on? A dramatic change in attitude?

"I think it is all to do with the way cricket is headed these days. The IPL has brought a lot of international cricketers together and we are getting to know each other far better and earlier."

Henriques feels his generation of cricketers is living it through a "revolution in the game."

"The game is changing, that's for sure. I never thought I would have played T20 cricket and that too with so much hype around the format."

With so much riding on the Blues going into the semi-final of the Airtel CL T20, Henriques will rise again.

Men like him wait for the right moment to strike and make an impact. They are watching him from somewhere in Australia, those selectors. Henriques will have his gaze fixed on the Aussie dressing room and slot in the finals in Hyderabad.
