MechEng Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Is batting way too easy today? Or let's give credit to real talent when it's due? Link to comment
Nikola Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have always seen him hit straight sixes easily. Few times he did it in ipl it looked like he just chipped and went for six. So you can say he has ability to hit sixes + batting was easy + weak opposition + brainless bowling from rashid (kept bowling in slot and quick). Link to comment
Stradlater Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Club level bowling. Even the players in tennis bowl tournaments in India bowl better. Link to comment

Real McCoy Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 He was drinking captain murugan for replenishment the day before unlike al bakis who were at the burger joint and sheesha shop Stan AF 1 Link to comment
CoverDrive Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We have to give credit to him. He has one of the fastest hands and very strong wrists. It is very interesting seeing his technique while hitting sixes. He sets a very low base and has a vicious swing and with any decent contact with the lower half of bat it sails away with today's bat. They seem to have practices hard at this. Even Moeen was hitting in a very similar way. You could say that it was a weak opposition but they have so many hitters that everyone just hits fearlessly. They have Root and Stokes as proper batsmen to anchor and weather tough periods and everyone around can be positive. Link to comment

He isn't called Quick Gun Murugun for no reason His six hitting reminds me of Yuvraj, except YS had a higher bat lift IIRC & more power into his shots. Murugun relies more on timing I feel.
