Playing style
Bawne's technique has been widely praised in domestic circles. Maharashtra coach Surendra Bhave said in 2014, "Look at his front-foot stride. I can't see anyone else who has a front-foot stride as big as that against fast bowlers. Middles everything, bat sounds very sweet, and he gives us solidity, real solidity." He is known for scoring runs in "tricky situations" and as "a go-to man for Maharashtra in times of crises."
