However, Abhishek’s lean running has attracted attention.“We are not doing unnecessary over-analysis,” India batsman Sitanshu Kotak told reporters.“Because sometimes you start making assumptions about what the opposition is doing.“He has his plans sorted and he follows how he wants to play.“Of course we discuss the opposition and their bowling strength. That’s normal for any batsman.”The 25-year-old missed the Namibia match with a stomach infection. He has been dismissed for ducks on both sides – the first ball against USA and the fourth ball against Pakistan – facing just five deliveries so far.“He was running until he was sick,” Kotak said.“The T20 format is a high-risk game and players will get out at some point. If we start emphasizing such things, there will be pressure on the players.“He’s in good shape, he’s got a clear plan and a clear mindset.Kotak added that there would be no complacency against the Netherlands.“Every game is important for momentum,” he said.“We played the last game with the same intent and we will play the next game with the same intent.”
