This is actually the same Aftab we have seen during the Kenya series, the only difference is that he is not playing Collins Obuya or Jimmy Kammande on this occasion. The guy needs to understand he is no Tendulkar, and he needs to give respect to opposition bowlers when it is due. For the time being, he should cut off his aerial shots.
All of our batters, including him, should watch video clips of inninigs of Gilly and Hydos, two of the world's best stroke makers, to learn how to play according to situations.
