Other technically strong players like Babar Azam, Kane Williamson, Joe Root
This former Pakistan player said, ‘There are two types of great players. For one, there are players who, if they get stuck, their rough patch remains for a long time. There are other technically strong players like Babar Azam, Kane Williamson, Joe Root. Whose rough patches may not continue for so long. It is difficult to detect their weakness. Kohli sometimes gets caught on those balls outside the off-stump. James Anderson has hit it a million times.’

To come out of it, he can try to play big innings without being conscious. This will help her to maintain the purple patch for a longer period of time.’
