New Delhi: Team India’s squad for the upcoming five-Test tour of England is undoubtedly star-studded. From Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal to Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian team will be looking to put in their best performance in the upcoming tour as they look to kick off the new WTC cycle on a positive note.
One of the biggest who will have many eyes set upon him would be ace batter Rishabh Pant. India’s X factor in the longest format, Rishabh Pant will have many expectations from him in the upcoming tour.
However, ahead of the tour, Pant will need to stay true to his batting playstyle if he is looking to succeed in England, according to former India cricketer Aakash Chopra. The former opener opined that there is no need for Pant to change anything against England.
“There shouldn’t be a change as well. How will you succeed if you leave the thing that got you success? His playing style has always been unorthodox. Everyone sees the game differently. When Rishabh sees the game differently, he reacts like that,” Chopra told Star Sports.
“He doesn’t see the game like Steve Smith. He sees how he can upset the bowler, and that he can control the game very well if he hits a six. He starts like that too. Of course, if balls like these (snorters) are bowled, he will be more careful. You can respect the short balls a little,” he added.
