India may sweep New Zealand 3-0 in the recent bilateral T20I series on Sunday, but there are still some issues that need to be addressed. According to former Black Caps captain Daniel Vettori, the striking posture of Indian star batter Rishabh Pant has sounded the alarm. Wicketkeeper Pant’s recent racket is in poor condition.
He scored four points in the 3rd T20I competition in Eden, Kolkata, and then scored 17* and 12* in the first two T20I competitions in Jaipur and Ranchi. In an interview with ESPNCricinfo, Vettori, the front left arm rotator, stated that Pant was not clear about his methods and that “his game has no fluency.”
Role, especially in this series. Sometimes he is too cautious, and then he is reckless. It feels that there is no flow in his game. When you see a great T20 batter hitting the ball well, it’s all about flow and power, you just feel its rhythm. He hasn’t fully understood it yet,” Vittori said.
The legendary New Zealand player also added that before India turned to Ishan Keshan, Pant was now redeeming himself, and Ishan Keshan had better contact with the bat throughout the T20 cricket season.
“I would be surprised if they (team management) didn’t talk about their expectations of him in lengthy terms. However, Pant has a responsibility to find the right rhythm. The reality is that if he doesn’t do this, they can look elsewhere. They With Ishan Kishan, KL can also keep wickets in T20. They will give Pant a chance to find his rhythm because they know they can change quickly too,” Vittori concluded.
