Teams usually play their best batsman at #3. While he's still our sides best batsman right now, he shouldn't move up permanently just yet. Today I think would have been the perfect time for him to come in at #3. I can guarantee you he would have hit a ton.
Playing him so low down the order, he's essentially being trained to become a slogger. Someone needs to talk to him, Younis preferably. As of now he's only had Afridi and co. as his mentors, which could explain the comedy of errors. He knows how to buckle down and pay a gritty knock, he just needs the discipline.
I think playing him at #4 for now will give him a sense of responsibility. That way he comes in before a collapse and can actually win us a game.
His style of play is pretty well suited to higher up the order, he's a guy who can bat through the innings. Look at todays knock for example, three 6's and one 4. The rest of his 60 was scored in singles. He can easily come in early, grind it out by taking singles and doubles, and accelerate towards the end or deposit any bad balls that come his way.
The recent lack of form, I think, was due to management. Being your teams best batsman and being expected to perform consistently at 20 is a big ask. Waqar Younis obviously has zero clue about batting, I can only imagine what he's been telling the kid. I remember a thread by Saj here that criticized management's handling of Akmal.
In any case, with the return of YK in tests and talented guys like Shafiq and Fawad in the LOI squads a load has been taken off his shoulders. He should have a license to go out there and play his natural game. If he wants to kill the bowling,
let him. He will learn from his mistakes, just needs a bit of help.
Todays innings will do wonders for his confidence though
