@Captain1

When he comes ahead of other all rounders/batsmen then he is expected to bat like a batsman and not like a ‘bowler/fielder’, when he gets out like his usual-self he is losing his strength as ‘motivator’.

He needs to bat like he did in the T20 final in 2009…think that his GOAL is to last 10-20 overs of batting…simple. Then whether he opens or comes in the lower middle order…it won’t make a difference…he will be there, get 40+ always since even if plays some dot balls or takes singles..he can hit out a six when needed..
if he bats like that, everything else in his game will automatically fall in place
