In the first Test, Rishabh Pant fascinated the audience by making a great century against England in Headingley. On the second day of the first Test of the five -match series, he was famous for his celebrity, which made the tide of excitement in the Leads gallery. In this century, Pant became the owner of the most Test of India’s wicketkeeper-batter behind MS Dhoni. However, he was dismissed for 5 runs, saying that the left -arm batter was bowled without playing a shot at a ‘brainfade’ moment.
Dinesh Karthik questioned Gambhir’s message
Former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik was speaking at Sky Sports during the incident. He suspected that the head coach Gautam Gambhir had sent the wrong message to Pant on the field. Kartik indicates that after the outskirts of Shubhman Gill and Karun Nayar, Pant was asked to bring slowness to the game, which disrupted his normal play rhythm.
In the second over of the 5th over, Josh Tang brought the ball lightly to the ball. Pant leaves the ball, but the ball goes under his knee and hit. The replay shows that the ball hit the middle and leg stump directly.
Kartik said, “The very important thing is that when the message is sent to Pant, it affects his game. He was playing fearlessly, but it seems that he was told to calm down. This method doesn’t work for all players. ‘
He also said, “Sending messages to the batter as a coach is normal, but over time – how to send a message to a player, how to send it, what language, what tone – the best can be brought out of it.”
‘The procedure should be different in case of Rishabh Pant’
Dinesh Karthik also said, “In the case of Rishabh Pant, the method may need to be different, working with him should handle it differently.” In the first session of the second day, the Indian team took a big push. India lost four wickets in the last half an hour – Shuvman Gil (1), Karun Nayar (3), Rishabh Pant (3) and Sardul Thakur (1) returned quickly.
In the end, India were all out for 5. Yashwi Jaswal, Gill and Pant performed in this test. Josh Tang and Ben Stokes took four wickets for England. India lost their last seven wickets by only 5 runs. Earlier, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bowl at Headingley first.
