The better position you are in, because you know that with these new rules, with five fielders inside and two new balls with any time to accelerate.
But when your team is under pressure, that low-risk cricket from there on, if you can continue to build that momentum, continue to build that foundation.
And that is exactly what he has done. He plays the ball. He was on 70-odd with only 5 boundaries. So, that just shows the ability to play spin and.
More importantly, the ability to rotate the strike against spin,” concluded Gambhir. Gambhir said that Virat can be a role model for youngsters in many things.
