He is one of the best timers of the cricket ball in modern cricket at the moment.He has got Amazing timing, good footwork and importantly lazy elegance and style. He was the one who turned the India-Australia series on its head. After the first test match and the third day of the second test match in kolkata, most people thought indians were dead and buried and it was going to be a one sided affair for the rest of the series. But one man changed all that in just one and half days exhillarating batting display. I am fortunate to have seen one of the best innings ever played. To come back from a huge follow on and pressure of losing the series at home without a fight, the 281 must deserve accolades. One of them is the most prestigious of them all-to be in the ’’Wisden’s’’ top hundred innings ever played.
But it seems most people have forgotten his epic essay and judging by his recent batting form have gone far enough to say that he should be removed from the team. He is a decent player in one day internationals too. But he has been unlucky most times that he has been coming under pressure situations. He is one of our mainstay batsmen in test matches and will be for more years to come.Wishing him a good future!
