Indian skipper Virat Kohli supported Rishabh Pant after questions were raised over his aggressive batting. On day 6 of the World Test Championship final, Rishabh Pant performed an aggressive 41 run knock against New Zealand. Many experts criticized his approach and the way he was dismissed during the match.
During the second innings, Pant was the top scorer for India. He made 41 runs off 88 balls. But he was dismissed after trying to take on Trent Boult. Eventually team India was bowled out for 170 runs.
As the Indian team faced defeat in the WTC Final, their inept batting was severely criticized.
At the post-match virtual press conference, Virat Kohli commented on if Rishabh Pant should bat more carefully in England. It is because the ball moves around a lot and the chances of getting dismissed are more. But Kohli defended Pant and his batting technique.
Virat Kohli stated that Rishabh Pant would play expressively whenever he gets a chance. He can assess situations well and play accordingly. Thereby, when things don’t work well then it can be said that it was an error of judgment. It is very common in all sports. But that does not mean the team wants him to lose his optimism to change the situation for India during a match. So, the Indian team would back him to play the way he wants and make good runs while putting pressure on the opponents. It is his natural game and that should not get suppressed.
Virat Kohli added that it is up to Pant to understand his error of judgment and rectify it. He has a long career in the team and the ability to play match-winning knocks.
Michael Vaughan criticized Rishabh Pant for his Day 6 batting technique
Former England captain criticized Rishabh Pant for his aggressive batting style. He said that it looked like Pant was playing in the back garden. He attempted to play several attacking strokes but was successful in hitting only four boundaries.
The seventh wicket that fell in the final Indian innings was that of Rishabh Pant. India was down to 156 for 7 at that point. The team failed to revive from the loss of Pant’s wicket and crumbled to 170 all out. Thereby, team India lost the World Test Championship final by eight wickets.
