'Rishabh Pant needs to understand…': Rohit Sharma gets down to business after India keeper throws his wicket away

Hindustan Times  

Rohit Sharma did not beat around the bush and addressed the dismissals of Rishabh Pant as it is, saying the India wicketkeeper needs to 'figure it out himself'. Pant's wicket in both innings of the MCG Test – which India lost to Australia by 184 runs – raised eyebrows. Rohit Sharma not entirely against Rishabh Pant curbing natural instincts but… Pant is the same guy who was responsible for India drawing the Sydney Test and getting his team over the line to conquer the Gabbatoir. It's not as if Pant and Rohit haven't discussed this long, lingering issues, but for someone who's tasted so much success with something he is good at, perhaps toning it down doesn't come naturally.
