Former India head coach Ravi Shastri has suggested that Rishabh Pant should not think much and bat in the Andre Russell ‘mode’ if the wicketkeeper batter wants to get the best out of himself and help Delhi Capitals in the ongoing IPL 2022 season.
Pant, 24, hasn’t had the best of the season with the bat. He has reached at least 20 in eight innings but hasn’t converted any of those knocks into fifties. Overall, the left-hander batter has scored 281 runs in 11 matches, with 44 being his highest score so far. “I feel once he gets the tempo going he shouldn’t change, he should be in the [Andre] Russell mould in this format of the game,” Shastri said.
