IND vs BAN: "You Can't Move Away Because He Did Something Else In Another Format"- Dinesh Karthik On Rishabh Pant

Indian Cricket Team got a wake-up call against Bangladesh in the 1st ODI. The Men in Blue would be utterly disappointed with their performance as they weren’t competitive. Astonishingly Rishabh Pant was not a part of the playing 11, the left-handed batter could have been a force to reckon with against spinners.

Bangladesh would now sense that they have a golden chance to win the ODI Series. The bowlers showed a lot of discipline in their line and length as they made Indian batters work hard for every run. Shakib once again showed to the World Cricket that why he is one of the best all-rounders in the world by picking up a 5-wicket haul.

Dinesh Karthik On Rishabh Pant

Dinesh Karthik was having an interaction with Cricbuzz and was asked about Rishabh Pant. “I think, you know, you need to give him the opportunity to be out there and do well and if he doesn’t do well, then move on. But you can’t just move away because he has done something else in another format. I think that’s something that’s unfair to the player as well.” said Dinesh Karthik.

“I think because of the amount of cricket, especially T20 that is played, obviously, they are comparing that and adding those scores and saying, ‘Oh, he hasn’t done well’. That’s not how we need to look at things.” he added.

Conundrum for Management

India’s lower middle order looked a bit fragile and now there are chances that they may include Ishan Kishan in the playing 11. The left-handed batter is quite aggressive in his approach and doesn’t fear to take down any bowler. It would be interesting to see whether he gets a game as Shardul Thakur wasn’t quite able to make an impact with the bat.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das would be slightly bothered as the batters weren’t able to chase the target comfortably. Litton would be well aware of the fact that they cannot afford soft dismissals as every-time Mehidy Hasan won’t bail out the team from crunch situations.
