5 things that go through a batsman's mind while facing a bowler in a Test match

#5 Is she watching?

With cricket being played with 22 men on the field, they feel the need to impress some particular person watching them from the stands or on T.V.

Batting in a test match can be a flat and dull affair, but what keeps the batsman going for hours together is the thought of their special loved ones cheering them on from the stands.

While married cricketers go on to impress their respective wives with some classy knocks, the others try to impress some “special” person in the stands with some unique shot making or doing something out of the box.

Who knows – shots like The “Dil Scoop” might have been invented to win over someone’s “Dil,” right?

While sometimes, a WAG in the stands can help motivate a batsman to perform better, there are times when the opposite happens. *cough* Virat Kohli *cough*.
