- Pant scored 2 centuries in both fairies of headingley test
New Delhi. Everyone is proud to see Rishabh Pant’s brilliant form. Team India veteran off -spinner R Ashwin has said that Pant should now convert his century into double century. Pant played a century in both innings of the first Test against England. India scored five centuries in both innings but England achieved the series 1-0 lead by achieving their second biggest target of 371 runs. The second Test match of the series between India and England will be played at Edgbaston from July 2.
‘Why the match slipped from India’s hand’
Ashwin said that the match slipped from India’s hand after being dismissed early on the fourth day. He said, ‘When you did not continue batting till the fifth day, the game is over. This team of England has openly propagated that whatever the goals are, they will go to achieve it. Therefore, as a batting order, we have to keep in mind that we have to give them less time but give a big goal. Praising two centuries in Pant’s match, Ashwin said that it is not appropriate to compare him to Mahendra Singh Dhoni as Dhoni never batted at number five.
Ashwin, ‘Rishabh Pant should be compared to players like Virat Kohli. He is a main batsman because he has a lot of time. Ashwin compared the ability to kill Pant’s ball and hit the great batsman of Pakistan, Inzamam-ul-Haq. He said, ‘Some special batsmen have the ability to choose the ball as soon as possible. They recognize the line quickly, recognize the length quickly and they come in a spectacular position. Rishabh Pant is one of the rare players who have special skills.
‘Rishabh has shown a brilliant game as a batsman’
Describing two centuries as a rare achievement in Pant’s match, Ashwin suggested that this wicketkeeper-batsman should pursue his efforts further. He said, ‘Rishabh has shown a great game as a batsman. But I would like to repeat that Rishabh’s defense is very good. There is no such shot in the book that he cannot play. Can I request you to score a double century next time you are batting at 130. He also requested Pant to avoid flipping the front in the Test match.
‘It’s not like IPL’
Ashwin said, ‘I have only one request, please do not flip the front. Your body gets tired in a Test match, it is not like IPL where you do not get to play more than 50-60 balls. He is the top batsman in Indian order, so do not prove him anything.
