India will take on South Africa in the third match of the five-game T20I series on Sunday, December 14. Abhishek couldn’t make much of an impact in the previous match on December 11 in Mullanpur. The left-handed batter scored only 17 runs in India’s chase of 214, and the team eventually lost by 51 runs.
"I think the top three have been labelled to be incredibly aggressive and there's a lot of pressure on them to play in a certain way. I think the trend for them moving forward for them will to be find their own game and just slow down a touch," de Villiers said on his YouTube channel.
I Don't Think They're Arrogant, but They Feel the Pressure - AB de Villiers
AB de Villiers believes India’s top-order batters are trying too hard to live up to an ultra-attacking image. He added that the top three Indian batters are putting unnecessary pressure on themselves to hit every ball, especially against high-quality international bowlers.
"Just remember you're up against international bowling attacks and pressure is even more. Just remember why you have been successful and what the basics are. That will be my message to the top three in the Indian batting line-up," he added.
AB de Villiers on India’s T20I Middle-Order Flexibility
"I don't think there is anything wrong with the middle order flexibility. They can float, they can jump up and down. The top three will stay similar," de Villiers continued.
Suryakumar Yadav batted at No. 3 in the opener but dropped to No. 4 in the next match. Axar Patel was promoted to No. 3 in the second game, while Tilak Varma also moved down a spot. These changes show the team’s ongoing experimentation with their top and middle order.
