Need to Calm Down and Give Rishabh Pant Some Breathing Space
Hence, coming into the second T20I against South Africa, Pant was under tremendous pressure to align his game to the "careful" style of play, which does not come naturally to him. The result was that when he got a drag-down, down the leg side from South African spinner Bjorn Fortuin, he was in two minds, whether to go for the heave-ho or just tuck it around for a single and accompany captain Virat Kohli, batting marvelously at the other end, to take India over the line. It was this moment of indecision that caused him to play a half shot and the ball went straight into the hands of short fine leg fielder. However, what has not gone down well with the Indian team management and the fans is how often Pant has given in to the capriciousness of his style of play.
