The former batting great stressed the importance of building strong fundamentals at an early age, saying players with a solid foundation are more likely to succeed across all three formats of the game.
“If a player's basics are strong, they can excel in Tests, ODIs, and T20s. Most of today’s top batters who are successful in all formats have built their careers on strong fundamentals,” he remarked.
