New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson talked about T20 cricket and his admiration for players like Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, and AB de Villiers for their ability to hit the ball clean. He said the shortest format requires one to develop their game constantly and try new shots.

Williamson said he tries to work on different areas to get better in the shortest format. The Kiwi batsman has certainly improved a lot in the 20-over cricket lately.

“You always think you want to hit the ball like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat and these guys hit the ball so beautifully and you try hit as well as you can but also try and perhaps work in different areas to make an impact for the team you are in,” he told Sports Today.

Williamson is among those players who's a regular feature in all three formats and he admits it's a challenge for any player to switch and fit into different formats of the game.

“That always is a challenge. All international players see that as a challenge, making those adjustments quickly because obviously you can play a series within a space of a month, when you can go from Test cricket to T20 cricket and the tempo changes.

“I think making the adjustments, having the understanding of your role in the team, I believe it's quite important,” he said.

Williamson, who's number one Test batsman, shared the key to success and said it's must for a batsman to develop their game and add new shots.

“I think it's been really interesting to see the evolution of T20 cricket, so many different players, different shapes and sizes be able to be effective and you get guys and girls that have variations and power and you try come up with ways to be effective.

“I think that has been important to me and I have been trying to do that, develop my game and try new shots and workout how you can add up to the team with the skill-set you have,” he added.
