Whenever we watch Cricket we hear our commentators talk a lot about technique and class of a batsman and if somone like Rahul Dravid is playing they go ga ga about his techinque but truely speaking I get irritated when players like Dravid play a beautiful ondrive or for that matter any shot and it lands straight in the hands of a fielder and if its 20 – 20 format then you can ofcourse feel the frustation. One more thing that I feel is 20 – 20 cricket will ultimate replace ODI cricket in the same way as ODI cricket has replaced Test cricket and then probably every good batsman will have to be good at improvisation apart from good technique, that is where players like Rohit Sharma go far ahead from the likes of Rahul Dravid. Sharma similar to Dravid is a technically sound batsman but then we can see what improvisation can do. He finds gap easily on the field and with equal ease he can hit the bowl in air. Have you ever wondered what makes him so audacious; well I guess first one has to be good technically and then one should be fearless for improvisation. Fear of losing something always degrades our performance and one can be fearless only when one is technically sound, that remainds me of a saying which goes as “One should know the rules to break them.”
