Austin 3:!6 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Nope, sehwag was about mindset and such mindset comes once in ages. I find it funny how ppl compare anyone who plays attacking cricket to sehwag. He is joking. OP is an ATG troll in ICFs history. We old timers know about him.

Yeah Sehwag wouldn't have lasted on slight help tracks like Ahmedabad 76 all out. He knew only one way to play, my way or highway. Link to comment

But he didn't make it count a lot with that approach. Having said that Mayank is the closest we get to replace Sehwag. His aggressive game against spinners are eerily similar to Sehwag. He just obliterated them. raki05 1 Link to comment

You need ability too, many players have the mindset but don't have the ability. Aggarwal had the same mindset in first few years but that didn't take him anywhere and in order to succeed, he had to change his mindset. Warner has same mindset and some ability to back it too but he too struggles in slightly helpful conditions. Link to comment

He was a converted opener. So it is all the more creditable to finish a career with a Test strike rate of 80 average close to 50. raki05 1 Link to comment

Sehwag did change his mindset, he had to do it during 2006-2008 when he was struggling badly. He missed WC 2007, wasn't picked for Aus 2007-08 tour due to his poor form. His dismissals were cringe worthy. But he was called back mid Aussie tour in 2008 and he batted differently when he came back and not the usual Sehwag way to get his form back. No one can take things for granted. When things don't work, you have to change your ways. Link to comment

When things don't work, you have to change your ways. I don't think he ever changed his batting style to a point where his strike rate got a dip for prolonged period. His strike rate was always pretty decent even when he was going through a bad patch. I remember he was going through a rut when he toured SA. They even pushed him down the order asked KKD to open. Even there he played a couple of cameos rather than cautiously. 33 runs in 29 balls at Johanausburg, 40 in 49 balls at capetown. Seeing this 40 TM decided to push him up the order again in the 2nd innings. But he failed. He never changed his batting approach. Mayank doesn't mind going through a period where he is like 10 of 35 balls even in Indian condition. I don't recall Sehwag playing that way especially in Indian conditions. Link to comment
Vk1 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I think Mayank will have a Michael hussey like career..someone who can play impactful match winning innings.. I'm actually happy that we have finally found somebody like him who is a late bloomer of sorts...pretty good option than trying some youngster with mixed results. This should motivate other aged domestic champs. It has actually become very predictable and boring to see all these under 24 players becoming stalwarts of India since mid 90s. Nice change.

Cricketics Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Mayank, though has hanged his game, I do like this side or his. If he can continue working on this style of his batting, it will be sustainable for Indian test cricket opening partnership. Link to comment
