Rishabh Pant's Captaincy Questioned; Focus Advised On Batting Skills
India's young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is now considered to be a part of the new leadership group of the Indian cricket team. After the retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Pant and Shubman Gill have been given the command of the Indian Test cricket team. However, Pant's recent form has seen a lack of consistency, leading to questions about his performance. Delhi Capitals' new head coach Hemang Badani has advised Pant to shift away from captaincy and vice-captaincy responsibilities and focus on his batting. Badani believes that Pant should maintain his aggressive batting style, which has been successful for him. "Rishabh should focus on his batting and reduce the captaincy responsibilities.”
Badani praised Pant's aggressive batting style and said that it is an integral part of his game. He believes that Pant should not make any changes in his style because it has worked for him. However, there has been a lack of consistency in the performance of Delhi Capitals under Pant's captaincy, which has raised questions about his leadership skills. Some reports also said that Pant had reservations about Hemang Badani becoming the coach, as he felt that his role could be limited. As a result of this, Pant made the decision to leave Delhi Capitals.
Rishabh Pant's batting style needs improvement, especially in Test cricket. Gautam Gambhir, who himself is a former Indian cricketer and captain, has advised Pant to focus more on Test cricket and rethink his role in white-ball cricket. Gambhir believes that Pant should get time and opportunity to improve his batting. There has been a lack of consistency in the performance of Delhi Capitals under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, which has raised questions about his leadership skills.
However, coaches and experts have a positive view of Pant's aggressive batting style. Now it has to be seen whether Pant can achieve success for the team by focusing on his batting.
