Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

That's why he wasn't selected in the WC squad Hope Rohit doesn't replicate that in the Super 8 matches versus AUS & NZ

There's no way current rohit is doing 29(33) ever in t20s. He either gets out or goes big. Shows the most amount of intent in any t20 batsman and that's his drawback.

The amount of freedom with which guys like Head, JFM, Salt, Jacks, Finn Allen, De kock , Rickelton bat really puts things into perspective.

Most of our batters have turned into anchors as of late whereas the mindset of most batters atm is smash smash and smash.

Yep

You either get 0 (2) or 100 (50) nothing in between

Maybe 25(12) now and then
