Texan Posted Sunday at 02:29 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:29 PM (edited) In an age where we were being fed with "sheet anchor", "carrying the innings through" quotes and players who were more interested in playing long but less impactful innings like Kohli and KL Rahul, it is so refreshing to see a young player going for his shots right from the word go. He is unafraid and plays in an uncomplicated manner. If the ball is there to be hit, it must be hit. I hope he continues in the same vein. He is definitely going to have failures with such an approach but you need a few players in a T20 team who just believe in going after the bowling.

Ability is there too. My biggest happiness is that he can hit 145 k+ pacers with confidence and ease. sorak, Lord, Suhaan and 11 others 1 2 11 Link to comment

Each format should have its own team. No point in trying him in other formats unless he improves his FC or List A records. tapandrun 1 Link to comment
singhvivek141 Posted Sunday at 02:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:40 PM Abhishek has this boom or bust game, there will be instances where he will fail as well. That's where our commentators are in general fans will have to keep faith. He is there for quick starts and not to score hundreds for stats. Selfless players are the need of the hour.

Ultimate_Game Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:51 PM And we had Kohli fanboys like @putrevus taking shots at him when he failed in his debut match. Abhishek and Jaiswal need to be the opening pair in T20s. We need high impact players and not "consolidators" at the top. New guy, Norman and adi B 3 Link to comment

He actually had a higher SR than Head quite a few times. And yet we didn't back him sooner. express bowling and Need4Speed 2 Link to comment

Ultimate_Game Posted Sunday at 03:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:14 PM We're still one batting option short. Shami is batting too high. Need to bring in someone like Parag in place of a specialist bowler. We'll struggle in WT20 with lack of depth in batting. Link to comment

When Bumrah comes in, he can cover a lot of cracks but we can't have someone like Shami walking in with 2-3 overs to go. Link to comment
