Rishabh Pant is getting attention again, but not in a good way. Former Indian player says the criticism is fair, and now fans are debating about it.
"The scrutiny around Rishabh Pant is justified. He is a prisoner of his own reputation for playing unorthodox shots and rarely looks to grind out runs when the situation demands it. Last season, despite opportunities to take time and rebuild his form, he continued to play risky shots, which drew criticism," Chopra said on JioHotstar.
After being part of India’s T20 World Cup-winning squad, he’s now out of national team discussions. Selectors have moved on to other keeper-batsmen. Despite IPL success, losing his India spot means it’s time to rethink his game, he further added
Pant’s willingness to seek help from Yuvraj Singh and rethink his game is a positive step. With his talent, it’s surprising he hasn’t dominated white-ball cricket yet.
Some fans support Pant, believing he needs more time to settle in. Others argue the IPL demands immediate results.
With pressure mounting, Pant’s next performances will be under scrutiny. A few good games could change opinions, but poor outings may fuel more criticism.
