While the likes of Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja are doing a fantastic job for India with the bat down the order recently, Aakash Chopra feels that Pant’s presence would have added to India’s batting might.
However, he stressed that the 23-year-old has only himself to blame for not featuring for the Men in Blue in white-ball cricket because he has often thrown his wicket away in situations where India wanted him to bat through the innings and finish off games.
Rishabh Pant will have to be a bit harsh on himself: Aakash Chopra
India A began their three-day practice game today against Australia A at Sydney. Wriddhiman Saha was named in the playing XI ahead of Rishabh Pant, who had played in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Down Under in 2018-19. This gave a clear indication to Aakash Chopra that the southpaw might not even be in India’s red-ball plans.
Aakash Chopra thinks that Pant will have to start being a bit harsh on himself for not having made the most of his chances that resulted in his sensational fall from grace in the international arena.
With the likes of KL Rahul, Ishan Kishan and Sanju Samson in the mix, Rishabh Pant will have to make every single chance count if he wants to cement his position in the playing XI for the Men in Blue.
