Nothing starkly amiss about his technique IMO. I think he’s a bit of introvert and does not quite fit into the aggressive in your face players this TM prefers. That would lead to some insecurity and coming across as being not so confident.

 

The last knock and batting for long with Rahane was the best thing to have happened to Vihari. Rahane, as vice captain and in good form, will be the perfect mentor for him along with Pujara. Expecting him to keep building on from the last innings.

He looks stylish in his drives.

Not convinced yet. He is an accumulator who is going unnoticed because teams have other batsmen in their minds. In the coming series or two his game and technique will be dissected by all teams. He has serious troubles against short bowling. He should work on that seriously and overcome it.

[express bowling]

Difficult to form an informed opinion until he plays a few more tests.

 

Buts needs to work a bit more on his short ball game.

 

He is not a special talent ... and for such players, career progress would depend a lot on how much hunger for success he has and how he works to improve his game further.

 

Can do well in international cricket if he keeps on working hard on his weaknesses and gets a few more chances in test matches.

Not a long term option

man we have so many professionals and selectors in ICF..

[SUMO]

I think he is good enough to play as 6th batsman, has got good technique to handle pace, gritty with appetite for runs. 

He should bowl more often, has potential to give 8-10 overs a day.

But we want to try exciting Gill, that why doubting him.

He will definitely score big runs in sub-continent....and probably might takes few odd wickets...

That kind of seal his place..

I think India play most of the test matches in near future in sub-continent,

he is mentally strong me thinks but that technique is not ideal.

[CG]

His weakness is short ball.If he can work on that he will be a decent middle order bat as he looks good against spin.

Yeah right. As if the rest of the team are oozing technically. If given time, he will turn into very good  5 or 6.

Bias against non-stylish batsman is ever so apparent in this thread.

We have seen enough people fail - Kambli, Yuvi, Rohit etc.. we should get over this bias especially in tests.

In his short career, he hasn't averaged very high, but he has had a high control % on his shots. That implies to me that he can get some good scores with a long run. 

Again, he has a great control % on a pitch with some help. 83% 

[gakgupta]

One more 42 not out..

This guy knows what he is doing...

Technique is overrated....just need to know how to overcome it...

Seems to be a mentally tough guy

Yes Saar, it ish true, atleast we have played decent cricket while u carry that South N North Indian schtick

[SUMO]

He has not disappointed even once in his short career.

Did well in England test debut. Opened the batting courageously in Australia. Rocking in the middle order.

[cricketfan28]

so far good.

[velu]

@maniac  fellow golt vihari scoring a hundred and ishu scoring a 50 .. you migth be really happy

his many yrs of domestic cricket have exposed him to a fair amount of spin. our spin-bowling cupboards are not what they were in 90s and 00s, but still the 8-9 yrs of the grind has helped him. karun nair is anyone who plays a wide array of sweeps, and jackson's footwork against spin is dazzling. but, by and large, most of our players are forgetting how to play spin.
