Twitter finds faults with Rishabh Pant: Twitter poured severe criticism on the Indian wicket-keeper batsman for playing an irresponsible shot.

During the second day of the second Test of the ongoing India’s tour of West Indies in Jamaica, India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant once again became victim of playing a casual shot to walk back to the pavilion after getting to a start.
It happened on the first ball of the second day when Pant was found wanting against a West Indies captain Jason Holder’s in-swinging delivery. In a bid to drive the ball, Pant missed the line of the delivery. In what appeared to be a neither here nor there shot, the 21-year old batsman didn’t provide the best of starts to the visitors.
Coming in to bat at No. 7 in the 73rd over yesterday, Pant played well to survive the day in the last session. A 62-run partnership for the sixth wicket alongside Hanuma Vihari saw India ending the first day at 264/5. While India needed the pair to bat in the same manner, Pant ended up scoring 27 (65) with the help of two fours and a six.
After Holder won the toss and put India in to bat, the visiting team was aided by individual half-centuries from captain Virat Kohli (76) and opening batsman Mayank Agarwal (55). As far as Pant is concerned, he was criticized in a similar manner after his dismissals in the second and third ODI respectively.
Twitter finds faults with Rishabh Pant
Holder removes Pant on the first ball of the day’s play. Top delivery. Pant…short forward stride…ended up hanging his bat out. Many would focus on the bat away from the body, few would notice the front foot. But that’s where the problem was… #WIvIND

Rishabh pant the most hyped batsman. With Zero (0) talent . Not even deserve in any format if cricket. That fellow should immediately be excluded from Test format. Stop experimenting with these kiddos.

And still @RishabhPant17 will play ahead of @Wriddhipops . Gavaskar summed it up well. “You got to think you are batting on 0 the next day and not on your overnight score.” Rishabh Pant is not showing any appetite for Test cricket. #WIvIND

@Apurva1953 Rishabh pant needs to play English County Matches. He is not matured enough to play Test Matches.

और इस तरह ‘ऑल टाइम ग्रेट सदी के महाविकेटकीपर’ श्रीमान एक हजार एक सौ आठ आदरणीय ऋषभ पंत जी पहली ही गेंद पर बोल्ड होकर राजगद्दी की तरफ प्रस्थान कर गए। #RishabhPant #INDvWI #Pant

Rishabh Pant isn’t worth the hype. There has been no improvement in his game since his debut, depends on sole strength of hitting the ball hard. #WIvIND

Rishabh Pant🚮🚮

Rishabh Pant- the most inconsistent player and a sub standard wicket keeper is a hot favorite of Virat Kohli and Shastri will keep on getting chances after repeated failures. No standard and fair yardstick for all the players !!

#RishabhPant is disappointing again and again😭#WIvIND
