“In T20I cricket, we need to play with freedom and fearlessness and we have such players that can go out and express themselves. The message given to them by the captain and management is that they bat fearlessly but also keep conditions and situations in mind and create strategies accordingly,” said Laxman in a press conference. Laxman admitted that the shorter format needs more multi-dimensional players, bowlers who can bat and batters who can bowl.
“More number of bowlers who can bat adds depth to batting lineup and gives freedom to batters to go out and express themselves. That is the need of the format and I am sure that more teams will try getting this in their selection process and identify players who are multidimensional,” he added.
About skipper Hardik Pandya’s captaincy, the coach said that he is not only tactically good, but also very calm onfield, which is needed while playing in pressure situations at the highest level.
