This transition can also be planned .

1.  Do not attempt drastic change till WC21 but start  post WC21 .

 

Rohit kohli having their with pandya, jaddu, rahul is keeping the core intact

2.  Focus on controlled aggressive mindset  ( not going after every ball , but have the goal of scoring a boundary every over on an average ) as the goal  

 

 

 

These are controlled only, we dont have so many russell coming up

5.  Ensure better game against spin . Will have to adapt and master shots which can beat field settings -

6.  Minimise dot balls . Could be no more than 30 -35 dot balls on a good pitch .

7.  Better running between the wickets  , maximise 2s .

8. set a benchmark of batting strike rate for T20s ( Say 130+) and 50 Overs ( say 115+) which is the minimum to be achieved .

 

 

 

ill add make a mix of left and right more

Promoting the right spirit & positiveness: 

 

Hardik: It's pretty simple. I really like to see the scorecard and play. It lets you know the kind of shots and options you have. All my matches, I've realised you always have more time than you realise in T20 matches. No matter the target - we've got 80-90-100 in the last five before, and I take confidence from that. As a unit we believe in playing positive, it gives everyone a chance as well. I thought Matarajan would have been Man of the Match, he gave us a target about 10 runs lower than it would have been.
 

Hardik Pandya is the Man of the Match.

Pandya was brilliant. Another day..he might have to do it against Starc..

 

He should practise the switch hit / reverse sweep against pacers as his hitting on leg side in infamous.

Also, he should try the shuffle on offside and connect to hit it better on the leg side for balls wide of offstump ( like ABD / Stoinis ).. if he succeeds in these two shots he might become the best player in the world.

 

 

Loved the way Kohli played the ramp shot for six. Next ball was a wide outside of offstump. Hope he and others realize the value of these shots that are not innovative anymore.
