Yes very good read. The two innings he mrntioned of Joe Root and Virat both were fantastic. The chase by England guided by Root was fantastic to watch, These sort of players are orthodox, not complex and make viewers as well as dressing room feel safe as they put value to their wickets and are tough to knock over while putting pressure over bowlers by keeping score on move. This is where I feel Pakistan needs to invest in batsmen like Harris Sohail and Babar Azam, Both composed and solid players who can score valueable runs.

One of the takeaways from this for me is the realisation that a highly successful T20 batsman by definition wins lots of games and more often than not in tight situations. That isn't just excelling at a game, that is the game. Worth remembering next time we compare a Kohli with a Tendulkar.
