And for what it's worth he always does well in IPL cricket. but strike rate is always low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a touch player, it will hard for him to muscle the ball as his twitch muscles aren't adjusted to it. The myth has been debunked many a times that being muscular helps you in hitting better. It's mainly the core strength of body, adjusting the weight and bat swing speed that helps more in six hitting than raw power, look at de Villiers, or rohit,these guys just have beautiful swing of the bat with solid core and that's what rahane need but it's really improbable to mould your game at such stage of his career and his body won't respond to it. what about Chris Gayel, Andre Russell, Shane Watson? you gave wrong examples. ABDV and Rohit are not strongly but that does not mean they lack the muscle power. You always need muscle power to hit sixes irrespective of the batsman. Some have it naturally, some dont and some enhance it through strength training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Dhoni, dwayne Smith, faf, kohli, these guys are cocooned in muscles yet when it comes to six hitting skills they are not as fearsome as other non muscular guys like maxwell, pandya Et cetera. Gayle, Russel, pollard are genetic freaks and are hence, anomaly. Average Joe can only dream of possessing the framework and brute strength they do. Anyways that's not the point I want to make, my point is :- A player who learned through out his life to not play across the line, or to never loft the ball over mid-on, never ever play ugly cross batted hoicks will have a very tough times to snack the ball even if he gain muscles because that's not his natural playing mode. Sure, it might help him clearing the inner circle more often than he do currently but can't bank on him to turn into a fearsome six hitter even he have muscles like Mccullum.

Dhoni at his peak was as good as any six hitting. Same with Dwayne Smith. he is as good as any in six hitting. Faf and Kohli too can hit sixes whenever they want but they have mold their differently by choice and not by design in case of Rahane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
