To England's Bizarre Yashasvi Jaiswal Remark Rohit Sharma’s “Guy Named Rishabh Pant” Rebuttal
The captain of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, was in no mood to duck bouncers as he attended the press conference on the eve of the 5th Test against England in Dharamshala. Rohit, on being asked about the comment from England batter Ben Duckett about the visiting team taking credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal’s attacking heroics, sent a firm ‘Rishabh Pant reminder’ to everyone. Hitting sixers in the media conference on Wednesday, Rohit had no hesitation in suggesting to the England team, especially Ben Duckett, that they have probably not seen Rishabh Pant bat, hence such a comment was made.
Rohit said when asked about the comment made by the England batter, “There was a guy called Rishabh Pant in our team; probably Ben Duckett hasn’t seen him play.”
The star youngster of team India, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has emerged as India’s top-scoring batter in the series, scoring 655 runs in 4 matches so far at an average of 94.57 and a strike rate of 78.63. Seeing the young India batter deal with boundaries during the Rajkot Test, Duckett suggested that the England team’s ‘Bazball’ style of play should give credit for encouraging Jaiswal to play the way he has in the series so far.
