Rishabh Pant opens up on ’fake injury’ during T20 World Cup final after Rohit Sharma’s revelations

Live Mint  

If India's Virat Kohli is King of batting, Rishabh Pant is a comeback king whose never-die spirit has been acknowledged worldwide. Recently, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma remembered an incident about Pant that helped change the results of the ICC T20 World Cup final with South Africa in Barbados on 29 June. Rohit disclosed how Pant's 'knee injury' play helped India beat South Africa in the T20 World Cup final and how India risked being fined during the final overs of the match. The Indian skipper recalled that when South Africa were in absolute control of the chase with 30 required of the final 30 balls, and Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller at the crease, he saw Pant was down on the ground with the team physio attending him. The wicket-keeper batter said, as quoted by Star Sports, "I actually thinking what to do because the momentum had suddenly shifted, they had scored plenty of runs in 2-3 overs, so I was thinking when will that moment come when we will the World Cup final."
