Does not run well with the jumpy Slater, so look for run out opportunities. Otherwise is a solid opener who likes the pull shot. Has been out playing the cut shot so continue giving him deliveries to cut and wait for the edge behind. Struggled enormously in Sri Lanka against the ball turning away from the bat. Target him with off-spin.
Plays spin adeptly but also gets out to it a lot.
Will take on the flighted ball. Test his patience with spin and await a mistake. Doesn't play the pull shot so could be unsettled by pitching short. Srinath and Agarkar can get him caught in slips driving at deliveries that move away. Plays back early before he gets settled.
