Gavaskar praises Warner, de Kock

Quinton de Kock loves Indian bowling attacks. He smashes them at will and gets runs in just about every outing.

Yes, the IPL is not only about Indian players but also about overseas players and there are many bowlers from other countries but it does not seem to make a difference to de Kock as he just goes on and on. The beauty about his batting is the simplicity that he brings to it.

He plays conventional cricketing shots at the start of his innings while he gets used to the bowlers, the pitch, the bounce and turn and as he settles down he widens the arc of his shots and hits the ball all round the park.

A lot of batsmen try as soon as they come in to bat to play across the line and perish quickly enough for it is never easy to do so even on the flattest of pitches. This time around there have been some magnificent pitches and that’s why there have been successful chases of good scores by the teams batting second.

David Warner is another batsman who has been in tremendous form and more importantly is leading from the front for his team which has now started to get a good rhythm and is looking good. Fatherhood as well as staying away from the amber liquid has mellowed him and made him a terrific leader too as can be seen in the way the team has responded to him.

Matthew Hayden who demolished many an attack in his time, has predicted that Warner will go on to break all records as an opener. 'Haydos' is absolutely spot on, for the adapting that Warner has done to all formats of the game is terrific.

Even as he breaks all records he will entertain the followers of the game and bring more people in through the turnstiles.

Quinton de Kock for his consistency with the bat as well as his catching with the gloves is this weeks CEAT International Cricketer of the Week.
