Coaches Need To Help Out Rishabh Pant: Parthiv Patel

While speaking to Cricbuzz, former Indian wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel said that Rishabh Pant is losing his wicket to similar types of deliveries which is a disappointing thing to see. Patel also said that coaches need to help Pant regarding those balls.

“The disappointing aspect is that there is a clear pattern to Pant’s dismissals, but he has not been able to counter it. And this has been going on for the last 2 to 2.5 months. Pant has been made (stand-in) captain because he has that smartness. But the coaching staff has an important role here. They need to help him out,” Pathib Patel said.
