Rishabh Pant’s aggressive batting style is often a double-edged sword, and unfortunately, it backfired spectacularly in the second Test against South Africa. The young wicketkeeper-batsman’s dismissal for a mere 7 runs has sparked debate, with former selector Saba Karim questioning his baffling decision-making.
Coming in after tea, when India desperately needed stability, Pant’s impulsive shot selection put the team in a precarious position. It wasn’t just the low score; it was the timing and the manner of his dismissal that raised eyebrows. A lack of patience and poor judgment were evident, costing India a crucial partnership.
Pant’s shot selection will definitely be dissected in the coming days. Was it a lapse in concentration, or a deeper issue with his temperament in pressure situations? Whatever the reason, it’s a lesson he’ll need to learn quickly.
