Pant’s Shot Selection Gets a Roast from Indian Cricket Icon

4 months ago | 5 Views

One of the top players in the current India vs England Test series is Rishabh Pant. After dropping the third Test by 22 runs, India is now 1-2 behind under the leadership of new captain Shubman Gill and vice-captain Pant. Pant's approach has been entertaining for the audience, and he is currently the second-highest run-getter in the series.

However, Farokh Engineer, a former Indian cricketer, has cautioned Pant against taking chances and only using it in the IPL since "Test cricket demands discipline."

"Absolutely. Save those (dangerous shots) for IPL," he told RevSporz. Discipline is essential in test cricket. You anticipate that they will play genuine cricket, score high runs, and establish innings from a number three or four. It's incredible that Rishabh has recorded centuries in both innings of a Test match. Therefore, he can play solely as a batsman, particularly with England's powerful bowling attack, which now includes Atkinson and Jofra Archer.

Rishabh Pant, 'unpredictable'

Pant is now sidelined by a finger injury, which led to Dhruv Jurel wearing the gloves in the previous match. "He can play as a pure batter for the runs he's scored, yes," the engineer said. However, Rishabh is unpredictable. He does whatever comes into his head. He chuckled and told me that he makes decisions based on what feels right in the moment when I teased him about his shot selection. He has the self-assurance and has frequently gotten away with it. However, during important times, such as the end of a day's game or just before lunch, he must act more responsibly. Nevertheless, he is extremely skilled. With the aid of helmets, which are now thankfully available, he is able to create his own shots. If we lived in our day, we would have no teeth left.

With an average of 70.83, Pant has scored 425 runs in six innings in the current series. Shubman Gill is the leader with 607 runs in six innings, with an average of 101.16. Jamie Smith of England comes in third with 415 runs in six innings, for an average of 103.75.
