“You look at how I used to bat at the start of my career and you look at how it is now. It’s changed quite drastically. You could probably say the same for a number of guys that have played for the last 10 years or so. If you watch the various techniques now from when I started, it would be different. It’s the same with Steve Smith, same with Kane Williamson. You’ve got to keep looking to evolve as a player,” Root said in an interview with TOI
“You can’t stand still. The amount of technology and information that opposition teams have, individuals have and how you play if you stand still, they’ll find a way to walk you out. You’ve got to try to stay ahead of the curve, you’ve got to be smart and you’ve got to keep adding to what you’ve got in terms of skills. It’s just about trying to keep looking to get better, keep looking to evolve, and keep learning from leading players around the world. You should not have an ego. Just constantly look to get better. Trust me, it serves you well,” he added.
