Obviously, uh, I think the final was yesterday, like this time yesterday pretty much.
After all the criticism he's had and the way he's played and the way also Bashar Zalmi played this year was pretty impressive.
If you, if you haven't like sort of kept up to date with the PSL, uh, Zalmi dominated from the start, and then they've got to the final and they've dominated the final as well.
What have you made of this tournament from him? 'Cause he, I don't know, he, he feels a bit different.
Well, firstly, I think obviously we all know he's a class player, and everybody goes through a bit of patches of ups and downs and, you know, might go through a patch where he don't get runs and loses confidence, but like I said, this PSL ...
So he, what he did then was go back to his original position, which is his natural position, which is opening.
He's an opener where he can play the cover drives, the flicks, and the cuts and pulls with the fielders in, and then after that, then he can get his momentum and get his co- and the fielders out.
So I think from, for him opening has made a big difference for him rather than him batting number three.
I think that itself allows him to play his normal way, uh, and get him, get him into the game.
When you're coming at three, four, it's a bit different because you might come in at number three after the first, after the power play, fielders are out.
How do you clear the boundary? How do you hit sixes and fours? So going back to his natural position of opening has allowed him to just to play his natural game without thinking too much and just play like a batter and then from there kick on.
So I think, yeah, so I think firstly, I think his position of opening is, is key, and he's got back to that and that's why he scored them for Gujarat, which has allowed him to score them.
I think if he bat number three or four, it might have been a bit of a different story.
