In case you didn’t know…
Rishabh Pant’s performances have recently come under the scanner due to his failure to get big scores for his team consistently. Since the World Cup 2019, he has only managed to get 151 runs at an average of 19 across all formats.
Recently appointed batting coach Vikram Rathour spoke on this matter in a press conference and said that Pant needs to bring a little discipline in his game. Head coach, Ravi Shastri too stated his frustration and said that there will be a ‘rap on the knuckles’ if the youngster continues to play the same way.
The heart of the matter
In his column for Times of India, Gautam Gambhir came in support of out of form Rishabh Pant and criticized the whole ‘fearless vs careless’ debate by saying that it is not a way to handle young players.
What’s next?
