jusarrived Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Still his ondrives are very good which cannot be played well by hacks. He probably is an upright batsman like Stephen Fleming' date=' Laxman .[/quote'] Am not calling him a hack , hes decent , he gets into good positions when he has to drives on the ground , even in the covers . its when he goes aerial he sort of gets into a tangle and some of those shots he almost digs them out . Its like watching sidhu hit sixes rather than Yuvi and Raina .

Guy has the highest number sixes for an Indian in this IPL and for such a young age, I have never seen any batsman hitting 6s so nonchalantly. Yes, he does have bit of awkward movements at times but they are obvious as his game is still developing.

div Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 ^that is good strike rate for a young player.Kohli's overall IPL strike rate is less than that, that too after playing so many matches at the Chinnaswamy stadium.

rkt.india Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 For all his 6 hitting he have a SR of 128 which is bit lower side. Arre bhai how many 20 year olds have such an SR? Kohli, Rohit, Rahane, all have SR 130 or less. Dhoni SR in 130s too, Raina 140. Only Yusuf has an SR of 147, probably the highest for an Indian in IPL. This was his first IPL too.

There are some reasons. At the start, he sometimes took his time to settle in before hitting 6s, which included a lot of dot balls too when he is new at the crease.
