Team India’s star wicketkeeper-batsman is in England to play Test cricket for the fourth time. About 7 years ago, he made his debut in this country and scored a century. Since then, his bat has come out on every tour. The new vice-captain of the team has continued this time as well. In Leeds and Edgbaston, Pant has again made a significant contribution with his bat. But this time some different things have also been seen in Pant’s game and that is to encourage yourself while batting. It has caught everyone’s attention and the reason for this has now been revealed by Pant.
Pant was seen talking to himself
The series between India and England started with the first Test match in Leeds. In that Test match played on the field of Headingley, Pant scored brilliant centuries in both innings. Team India lost that match but Pant won hearts with his centuries and kept the team in the match. Pant was seen talking to himself many times during both these innings. Even Pant’s voice was clearly heard on the stump Mike, in which he was explaining himself to missing a ball or playing the wrong shot.
Consultation from coach was received in childhood
He could not play a big innings in Edgbaston, but there he was talking to himself like this. This style of Pant was not only fans, but was also surprising for the media who saw him closely. In such a situation, when the star batsman was questioned in the press conference before the Lord’s Test, Pant said, “My late coach Tarak Sinha taught me that he should talk to himself. Since childhood, I have been accepting this about him. It helps me a lot.”
The century of both innings of Leeds can be said that this encouragement of his own had an impact on the performance of Rishabh Pant. Pant, who missed a big score in Edgbaston, will now expect a performance like Leeds in Lord’s. In such a situation, Team India and fans would like that Pant should continuously talk to his fellow batsman but also to himself on the pitch because apart from them, Team India will also get the benefit.
