Abhishek take your time!

[Need4Speed]

He is trying to hit from the crease to the spinners.. may be next time.. use some footwork to loft the ball out of infield to get 4 or 6 depending on length

[Need4Speed]

It will take just a four or six for him to get back to hitting ways

[Suhaan]

Yograj singh must call him before Yuvraj calls

[Downtown]

He's not scoring a run until Babar Azam tweets, 'This too shall pass'

[gakgupta]

stomach bug saps lots of enery from you

He is trying to be Virat, the problem is he needs to find top gear at some point. He can play anchor, but if he doesn't get into top gear around the 15th its a difference between a above par & sub par score. 

 

The problem for Abhishek is tuck him for room he will struggle, all eams seem to be aware of this & are executing the plan. He just needs to take some singles & let Kishan do the damage, give the opposition a new worry, when the boundaries start flowing they will start straying from their plans, thats when he can capitalize & get his form back. It needs him to go against his insticnts though.

All 3 games its been good planning by opp. teams, USA used his shot against himself by putting a fielder there and hoping it does not clear the boundary.

 

Pak and Ntld bowled off-spinner which is anyways a good punt to take where there are 2 LH batters, the off-spinner didnt allow Abhishek to make the room bowled fast to him cutting out his hitting arc.

Observation based on Tilak's intnl batting, do not think he has a game where he can play a super-fast catch-up game. If he is not ahead of the game its hard for him to catch-up.

 

Other part is all his fast scoring innings have come when the batter from other end is also scoring a good rate, if the batter on other end is not scoring at a quick rate he does not seems to take initiative on himself .

 

This can been seem in his emerging asa cup series, when gill was opening for Ind and tilak had him on the other end and recent games when sky himself is taking time and not scoring at high pace.

 

Not 100% but think there would be same trends in IPL too.

Rahane > Varma

 

Scores quicker and has better range of shots. Varma is so limited & one dimensional, don't understand why he he has become a fixture in the team.

We just need a 15 ball 30 from Abhi. Just do his job in the PP. The rest of the batters can then take it from there.

 

Tilak is coming too early in PP and wasting balls. Sky too in pressure stuitation can't play his natural game.

 

I am sure though, it will fall in place in Super 8.

Back your elite.

When things don't go your way,it's better to respect conditions and flow of the game

Let yourself gain some time in the middle,once it gets restored you are always 'you'to play your game

He should just get to plan B for these situations

This current squad is fighting against what Dhonis Dhawans etc did and how it ruined the T20 units by scoring par scores and happily celebrating milestones.

consciously not taking a single of first ball is a very big part of Abhishek's game. You might lose form but you need to retain that culture.

Yes,but in world events you need to have some backup plan to avoid ultimate failures

Those names in the past are part of the other extreme

[Frustrated]

Indeed.   'Garnier' Sharma should take some more time.  He should play 20 dot balls every inning, then look to accelerate.    

[zen]

When players take their time, we say he is stats padding. When they get out soon, we say take your time. 
 

Abhishek’s should stick to his game plan of either clicking or not wasting balls. Having a confused mind is not ideal. 
 

An occasion when he can take his time is when India is chasing a low total and the batsmen at the other end are firing all cylinders. Another occasion would be when the pitch is difficult.

He didn't want to take his time.  They are prepard for consistently high pace deliveries not for slower balls, into the deck stuff. There is no real versatility with this batting line up.
