  1. VVS Laxman Opens Up About Rishabh Pant’s Knock Former India batsman turned commentator VVS Laxman has recently said that India’s wicketkeeper- batsman Rishabh Pant will learn from his mistake. However, his comments came after Pant’s dismissal in the first innings of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton. The veteran also asked him to keep patience as well. Rishabh Pant got out while chasing a wide ball from the Kyle Jamieson and got an edge which was easily taken at the slip and he was removed for only 4 off 22 balls as well. “We were aware of the challenge that Rishabh Pant is going to face. He is a naturally aggressive batsman. On this kind of surface, you have to mix caution with aggression. You have to know what are areas you can target the bowlers. You have to show patience and discipline,” VVS Laxman said on Star Sports’ lunch show. “Unfortunately, on this surface, you cannot free your arms like the way you can do in sub-continent. But this is something you expect from Rishabh Pant.”

  2. He continued: “This is something I am sure, he will learn. When he was walking back after getting out, he was disappointed with himself. He was talking to himself, showing through action, that he had to leave that delivery. I think this was the ideal situation for Rishabh Pant to stamp his authority like the way he did in Australia. Because these are different conditions than the conditions in Australia. You have to respect the good ball, especially when you know the bowler is on top of you by swinging the ball and getting the lateral movement of the wicket.” However, the credit should go to the New Zealand bowlers especially Kyle Jamieson, who dismantled India’s batting lineup to bowl them out for 217 on the third day. While no Indian player could manage to score a fifty, the vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane top-scored with 49. On the other hand, along youngster Kyle Jamieson has successfully picked up a five-wicket haul as well.
