Tom Banton has all the talent but at the moment he is wasting it: Kevin Pietersen

Recently, while speaking to Sky Sports, Kevin Pietersen expressed his disappointment over the failure of talented young English batsman Tom Banton in the Hundred. So far, in seven games, Tom Banton could muster only 96 runs at a paltry average of 13.71 while opening the innings.

Kevin Pietersen opined that rather than playing in one gear, Tom Banton should learn the art of building an innings by observing the likes of Virat Kohli and David Warner. He said:

"He has all the talent but at the moment he is wasting it. He hits way too many balls in the air. He needs to learn to hit the ball along the ground, learn to hit extra-cover hard, mid-wicket hard. You have to look at the best players around the world. How often do they think, 'let me just hit it in the air, my release shot is a six'? Virat Kohli, David Warner - look at all the players starring at the top of the innings. They hit extra-cover on the ground for four. How often do you see Kohli hitting sixes all over at the start of his innings?"
