Michael Vaughan Shared An Important Message For Rishabh Pant: India’s star keeper-batter Rishabh Pant is on his way to becoming the next superstar of the Indian cricket team. Rishabh Pant, who had played a counter-attacking century in the Edgbaston Test, came with a no-holds-barred batting approach during the Test match. However, the 24-year-old could only score 26, 1, and 0 in the just-concluded 3-T20I series in England.
Rishabh Pant, who has often been criticized for his rash shot selection, once again found himself at the receiving end of criticism after his latest dismissal. He was dismissed in an attempt to flick a Carse full-toss towards mid-on.
Michael Vaughan Shared An Important Message For Rishabh Pant
Reacting to Pant’s dismissal, former England captain Michael Vaughan shared his views about the Indian ‘overthinking’ in the limited-overs format. Speaking to Cricbuzz, Michael Vaughan shared an important message for Pant. He said:
“I would say to Rishabh Pant, don’t be ultra-aggressive. He has got his license to be aggressive in white-ball cricket, but in red-ball cricket, it just looks like a careless approach,”
He added: “And in white ball cricket, it looks like he is almost overthinking it. He is that one player in that space who can win India a game in a space of 15 overs of batting. He is such a good player, you just want him to have that freedom. Not to be worried about the shots that he is playing even he is getting out. His job according to me in this Indian team is to go for course chaos.”
While Vaughan wants Pant to produce his usual aggressive play, but he also said that his job is to get going from the word go. He said:
“He has got bat in his hand, go and cause chaos. If you give Rishabh Pant a bat in his hand and give him the freedom to play, then I bet he comes across very successfully in at least three of those matches. And he will completely change the game on his own. He just needs to be even more aggressive, that’s the way out for Rishabh Pant,”
