In the Test series between India and England, Dhakad wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has done very well. He has played his role well in batting as well as wicketkeeping. Team India is now playing the fourth Test match against England at Old Trafford, Manchester, which is starting from July 23. Before this Test match, veteran player Farooq Engineer has given a big statement about Rishabh Pant. Farooq Engineer has given a strong warning to the Indian batsman and said that he should not play the shots with risk and try to score as much as possible.
Farooq’s advice for Pant
Farooq Engineer told Revspports, ‘You should save it for IPL. There is a demand for discipline in Test cricket. Number three or four, you expect to play cricket well. They should make a big score and also improve their innings. The good thing with Rishabh is that he has a lot of confidence in him. But they need to be even more responsible at the important time. For example, just before lunch or at the end of the game. They do not have a shortage of talent and they make their own shots. The good thing is that now there is a helmet. There is no teeth left in our time.
Farooq Engineer further said, ‘He has scored and that too as a batsman. They do what comes in his mind. It is not so easy for anyone to understand Rishabh. I joked with him about his shots and he also gave his answer laughing. Rishabh has scored centuries in both innings of a Test, which is amazing. He has played excellent cricket against England’s Dhakad fast bowlers. It also includes Jofra Archer.
Rishabh Pant struggling with injury
Rishabh Pant is the second highest run -scorer in this Test series. He has scored 425 runs in three matches at an average of 70.83. The Indian batsman has so far scored two centuries and two half -centuries. He will also be expected to have a big innings in the Manchester Test. Let me tell you, in the third Test match played at Lord’s Stadium, he suffered an injury to his finger.
However, now there is a lot of improvement in his injury. Rishabh Pant has shared a video on his official social media account on Sunday, July 20, in which he is seen playing football. He also practiced fiercely batting.
