During the second ODI of the ongoing India’s tour of West Indies at Port of Spain, India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant was seen playing a rash shot to get out. Pant, who has been often found guilty of gifting his wicket away in a similar manner, faced a lot of criticism for the same on social media platform Twitter.
It all happened on the second delivery of the 23rd over when Pant’s attempt to play a non-existent pull off West Indies all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite saw him making no contact whatsoever with the ball. With the ball passing in between his front leg and bat, Pant lost his wicket via a bowled dismissal.
Pant, who came in to bat at No. 4 in the 16th over, looked good during his brief stay in the middle. On the fourth ball that he faced, the left-hand batsman played a beautifully timed flick off West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell. In the last delivery of the next over, Pant cut a Roston Chase delivery for a boundary to further make instant impact.
Having scored 13 off 13 balls, Pant appeared set to play a big innings. Having said that, the 21-year old batsman once again got out while way too much. With captain Virat Kohli batting alongside him, it was the perfect opportunity for Pant to stage a significant partnership.
In the four innings which Pant has played during this tour, he has got out while playing unnecessary shots on three occasions.
