Performances of Batsmen

Reddy has looked the most assured among our batters after Pant.

A bit disappointed with Jurel's approach today.

 

Was a bit tentative.

Was edging deliveries even before his dismissal.

this thread needs to be continuously updated, especially given the poor batting performances in tests 2 and 3

Very very very impressed with Abhishek Sharma's hitting ability 

 

He is hitting 145 k+ deliveries for fun on a bouncy Mumbai track. 

 

So many 6s.

 

Hitting 6s off spinners too.

 

Ideal T20 mindset and T20 ability.

 

Can succeed in ODIs too 

 

I will pick him for Champions Trophy after niggling out Kohli or Rohit or both.

Abhishek

 

Batting 100 off just 37 balls with 10 effing 6s. 

 

Playing Archer, Wood, Rashid and Carse  ( geuine pace, bounce, leg spin and skilful fast medium stuff )

Amazing innings of 269 by Gill !

 

Pitch maybe flat but the Indian team is under tremendous pressure to perform.  We were 5 down for 211 and we would have crumbled if Gill fell.

 

Captaincy seems to be bringing the best out of him. His attitude and sense of responsibility has improved a lot. He wants to bat on and on.

 

Gill's footwork, especially the movement of his front foot and forward defense, has become much better. He is not plonking his front foot like earlier but moving with the ball. His sense of where his off stump is has improved too. Liking it a lot.
