Sanjay Manjrekar, the former Indian player, complimented wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. When talking about how the left-handed batsman plays, Manjrekar stated that Pant should be allowed to play as he likes because he has earned it. Manjrekar said that the England squad is afraid of him, which is high praise for the left-handed batter. Pant began the current five-match Test series against England well, hitting hundreds in each innings of the first match in Leeds. In the next two Tests in England, the batter also scored a fifty in each game.
Manjrekar told Star Sports that Rishabh Pant will bat in his own way, no matter what. He ought to be allowed to since he has earned it. The batting order has to work well together. Jaiswal needs to consider how he was dismissed. He should take advantage of his form. I believe Pant is a key player at number five. England is afraid of him.
According to Sky Sports, Pant is anticipated to participate in the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford, which will begin on July 23.
Pant dove to scoop up a ball bowled by Jasprit Bumrah on Day 1 of the third Test in the 34th over, but he couldn’t grasp it, giving England two runs on byes.
Following that, he seemed to be in severe discomfort and had to leave the field for treatment. Dhruv Jurel, a young player, took Pant’s place as the team’s wicketkeeper in the second session of the first day of the Test match.
Pant batted in both innings despite his finger injury, scoring a superb 74 off 112 balls. Pant hammered the ball into the stands for two huge sixes during the knock, surpassing Viv Richards’ mark for most sixes against England in the format.
Even though Jofra Archer removed him for 9 off 12 balls in the second innings, he was healthy enough to bat but unable to keep wickets.
