Speaking of Williamson’s form in the tournament, he has been going through a dip in form. He has just scored 216 runs in the tournament at an average of 19.64 and a strike rate of 93.51. He has looked completely out of touch and seems to have lost confidence in his ability.

His lack of confidence with the bat in hand has also affected his captaincy. He has taken some bizarre decisions as the captain of the team. From persisting with himself as the opener despite the draught in his runs to using a spinner against power hitters in the death he has faltered in many cases. Amidst the terrible run, the break might be beneficial for the player as it will give time to reflect on his game.
