On their next tour to England, the Indian cricket team’s captain, Virat Kohli, said their young wicketkeeper-batsman, Rishabh Pant, will continue to play an attacking brand of cricket, as he does, and continue to take chances anytime he feels he can alter the game.
In a victory against West Indies on Wednesday, India captain Virat Kohli remarked that Rishabh Pant, the wicketkeeper-batsman, will always trust in his instincts when he feels that he can impact the game with his effort and skill. India and England’s first Test was rained out on the final day, ending in a tie. It appeared like the visitors were all but assured of victory on the final day, needing only 157 runs to be victorious, as they had a 9-wicket lead and nine wickets remaining. However, it was as if the weather deities had different plans. Although he was unable to pass on his way, Pant had played a quickfire cameo in the first innings.
“That is how he plays, in a nutshell. He is capable of finishing games in a prolonged manner, just like that. Regardless matter the situation, he is knowledgeable enough to realize what is required “The following words were spoken by Kohli during a virtual news conference.
“You will not see him take those kinds of shots if you are looking to save a game. When the odds are 50-50, he’ll take the risk.
“He plays that way and he is that kind of player. We can expect that Rishabh does one thing that alters the flow of the game and which leads to a change of momentum in our favor. This is how he will play “He also added.
As regards Rahane’s batting going into the second Test, Kohli noted, “His form is good.” “That’s not a matter of concern to me. Our main goal is not to concern ourselves with where each member of the team stands individually, but rather how much strength they can collectively contribute to the team.
“Our goal as a batting unit is to produce in difficult situations in order to get ourselves into a position to win.
“In the previous game, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah all contributed significantly with their cameo appearances. It is also reasonable to expect others to chip in from time to time.
He continued, “One of the most important factors to think about is how you can effectively portray your team in the batting order on the field.”
