Following his team’s humbling defeat to Australia in the fourth Test in Melbourne, Rohit Sharma stated that Rishabh Pant must grasp what is expected of him.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said Rishabh Pant needs to grasp what is expected of him following his team’s humiliating defeat against Australia in the fourth Test in Melbourne on Monday. Pant hit 30 off 104 balls in the second innings, and the left-hander formed a wonderful partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal that nearly led India to victory. However, he was dismissed for a rash shot, which triggered a chain reaction in which the visitors continued to lose wickets. Rohit stated that Pant should analyze the danger percentage and play accordingly.”Obviously, he must comprehend what is demanded of himself. It is more important for him to understand and figure out what is the best approach to proceed than for us to tell him. He has previously achieved great success in his field. “As a captain, I have mixed feelings about that.”
“Sometimes you want to believe that he plays the way he does, but when things don’t go as planned, everyone becomes frustrated. That is what it is; that is the fact. It’s a matter of balance when it comes to success and failure. As captain, it’s difficult to have a talk when it’s also brought him a lot of success.
In some gaming conditions, if there is a risk percentage, do you wish to incur that risk? Do you wish to allow the opposition re-enter the game? Those are the things he has to figure out for himself.”
Though Rohit stated that he has previously discussed Pant’s batting style, the skipper also highlighted the fact that the same style of play has previously resulted in plenty of success for the wicket-keeper batsman.”I’ve known Rishabh for a long time and know his cricket… In terms of talks, there’s no way I can claim I haven’t spoken with him or that he doesn’t understand what the term implies. He gets it. But the things he does produce results as well; it’s just a narrow line between instructing him not to do something and telling him to do it,” Rohit stated at the post-match press conference.
