I Want To Play Positive Cricket To Help My Team - Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant once again on the news in the recent past for all the wrong reasons. The Indian team management tried to sustain with Rishabh Pant at number 4 but his rash shots at crucial junctures of time have once again brought criticism to him. However, the youngster wants to learn as quickly as possible.

He has been under the scanner for throwing his wicket away and with no fifties to his name in the 11 ODIs that he has played for India so far, a big knock is the need of the hour for India’s new No.4. The Delhi wicketkeeper came up with his career-best T20 score of 65 not out in the final T20 game of the series against West Indies and he’ll be hoping for the similar show to wrap up the ODI series as well.
