‘That’s The Only Option I Have Now’-Rishabh Pant Speaks About What He Needs To Improve Amid His Poor Form

Rishabh Pant, the captain of Team India, has struggled mightily with the bat during the current five-match Twenty20 International series against South Africa.

It was a similar story on Friday, as he was unable to capitalize on a strong start in the fourth game that was played in Rajkot. After India had fallen to a score of 24/2, he stepped up to the plate and scored 17 runs off 23 balls before being dismissed due to a reckless shot.

What did Rishabh Pant say?

During the post-match presentation ceremony, Rishabh Pant made the following statement on his poor performance in this series:

“As a person, I may work toward being better in a variety of areas. That’s the only option I have at this point.”

In the four games that have been played so far in this series, the southpaw has scored a maximum of 57 runs, and his highest score is 29. The low returns he has made in the middle order have been a major factor in India’s struggles in the previous two matches.

Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik stitched together a match-winning partnership

However, in the fourth game of the series, Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik halted the batting slide with a 65-run partnership that drove the home team to a respectable score. The individual, who is 24 years old, made the following statement while praising the work of the two batters:

“We are extremely satisfied with the manner in which Hardik put on a show and with DK bhai’s prompt entry and aggressive pursuit to go for shots. This partnership provided us with something good and put pressure on the bowlers.”

The Men in Blue were able to reach 169 runs because of the efforts of Hardik, who hit 46 runs off of 31 balls, and Karthik, who slammed 55 runs off of 27 deliveries. This was plenty to tie the series.
