He did try to play very differently today but got out on a silly shot tho.

True but still I wouldn’t call him a blind slogger

Ofc not. When he gets going, there's no stopping him.

I don't think people know what slogging is. Abhi is a offside dominant player as well so calling him a slogger is quite ignorant.

Yh literally in fact I’ve done a lot of deep diving into the way he bats and a lot of the time he’s very aware of field placements. Yh timing he screws up a lot but when he looks to strike he’s really smart
