Looks like Pant doesn’t have the match awareness to play LOIs

How long before we have a "Pant is a fantastic batsman" thread p.gif

That never happen as indian fans are very demanding...

 

Poor 20 year kid trying to find his feet in the intl level and already seen these kind of threads.

 

Even great MSD took 11 games before making the first century...20 odd one dayers before settled as finisher.

 

Pant took sometime to settle in the test matches . He will certainly take 10 to 15 games before he start contributing in odi's as well.

Both KLR and Pant have been short-changed in the run up to WC. When Rahul was in form (2017, 1st half of 2018) he hardly got a look in, never more than 3 consecutive matches, same with Pant. Is this how TM wants to groom the next gen?

They destroyed a talent which could have won them wc

Instead, it became the biggest casualty in our build up to the wc

Don't know what you think. Many international cricketers come and retire averaging decent for their country without looking class.

Every player plays LOI differently. Pant has enough shots to succeed. Its about temperament and as the famous term which maniac likes to use "match awareness", those things can only come if you play regularly.

 

Anyone who scores 100+ against top England bowling attack on day 5, albeit a different format, knows a thing or two about batting and has decent range of shots, with Manhattan showing shots all around the park where English bowlers having tried everything - from bowling short to bowling full and also outside off. 

 

He improved in Test because he got the game time. If same is done in ODI'S he can improve there too.

its possible but he has been this way from u19. in tests he can leave balls outside his hitting  zone and hence is more selective. I have more faith in Ishan Kishan as a dhoni  replacement.

Pant has shots all around the wicket. His issue has more to do with temperament and shot selection. He wants to hit every ball for a six. He will get better the more he plays.

You know how you guys axed or sidelined Tony Romo, similarly if that was done earlier in Indian team with Thala for at least any format be it t20, then Pant would be already a much settled LOI player.
