Former India Cricketer Ajay Jadeja Explains The Reason Behind Rishabh Pant's Poor Form In T20Is
It is red-ball cricket where he has played a few crucial knocks for his team, despite carrying a reputation of an aggressive batter.
The Indian wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant has donned the Blue jersey in a total of 62 matches so far. It is red-ball cricket where he has played a few crucial knocks for his team, despite carrying a reputation of an aggressive batter.
Pant has not been able to make an impact in the shortest format of the game and as a result, many former cricketers have scrutinized his place in the Indian team for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022.
Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja assessed Pant’s form and said, "Because the Indian team has moved on to role-playing acts, and he’s not fitted into any role, that’s where he has lost out. DK played a fabulous knock. With that role-play that he is doing, it works. If he wasn’t in that role-play business and was batting at No. 4 like in the early part of his career, then, 46 on this surface, how can you throw it away?"
"He’s got a mate in DK to learn from. He can ask him, ‘listen, what do I need to do? Is there something I am missing out on? You’ve gone through this. Show me the way.’ No matter how big a fan I am, how long will you persist with him? There is no dearth of talent, and it is just this format. So, it is something that he has to figure out," Jadeja added.
The left-hand batter got a great start in the third T20I, but then he threw his wicket. Ajay Jadeja stated, “He doesn’t have to go too far, he just has to look at his batting partner. It’s taken Karthik 15 years for the team to start believing and accepting. DK had similar talent. The team kept bringing him back. But if you don’t deliver, the team leaves you out eventually, somewhere."
