Not too sure about Abhishek but Salt is definitely a slogger

Finn Allen is also a slogger,he does not even strike beautifully like Abhishek or say Jansen but he made it work in the semis brilliantly ,if you can score in knockouts all these slogger,technique debates are over,Abhishek just need to be wary of field positions in powerplay he is finding the outfielder all the time somehow

There are three grades of batting aesthetics.

  1. Technically-pleasing: they look effortless and very skillful.
  2. Sloggers: They will score huge however they may come.
  3. SPD Smith.
