Pant not adept behind the stumps: Kirmani

Syed Kirmani, although impressed with Pant’s approach to batting, feels the youngster has a lot of room for improvement as a wicketkeeper. Speaking to Indian Express he said, “He reminded me of MS Dhoni when I first heard of him. He was a terrific hitter of the ball but not that technically adept behind the stumps. He worked on his shortcomings and look where that took him.”

 

“Pant’s footwork behind the stumps is not good. He does not move with the ball, instead dives at the last moment. These will take time. My main point is, look at the young keepers in the country. How will they learn? You have specific coaches for each and every position except for such a specialist role,” he added.

Kirmani was pleased to see the fearlessness with which Rishabh Pant bats, no matter what format of the game he plays. “Pant’s gung-ho approach to batting is quite refreshing to watch. He should not change the way he plays the game. That may lead to trouble. What he should, however, look at is conversion. The classic example today was Virat Kohli at the other end. When he got set, he ensured he reached a century. You should not miss out after doing all the hard work,” he concluded.

i see pant moving way too much before the delivery

It is not a secret that Pant needs to improve his keeping esp to spinners

Hope he is not PP in making ....dropping catches, byes in Aus will be criminal

He was very very bad. He has to practice a lot. His stumping is okay. Not very dissimilar from Dhoni. But catching? Man imagine those were drops of Butler and Stokes.

"He does not move with the ball, instead dives at the last moment."

Wtf I have a complete opposite view. He moves with the ball far too early and eventually has to deal with it with dives because of misjudgements. He actually needs to stop moving a lot and trust his reflexes a lot more.

Kirmani is spot on with that footwork remark .this is what i said in that rishab pant thread after the third test ,his footwork is average atm but it's work in progress and I am sure he'll improve it gradually

Kirmani went through that as well. When he started he was dropping a lot. THen he became a fine keeper. But Pant even by beginners standard is very poor. May be sometime watching Saha could help him.

This is sheer chewtiapa. Why criticising this young guy in the open? Will this do any good to his morale?

I agree. But Pant has to rise above it. Kohli's technique was also subjected to scrutiny. But he overcame in style.  He even demonstrated in a video about how he did that.

Better to know the short coming in the beggining instead of realising after losing a few series...

There are better ways to let you know your short comings. Criticising in the open doesn't make any sense.

I liked him but I have a bad feeling he's going to be another Pappu Patel

Why are they not finished products even before they debut in international level?

Does anyone remember Dhoni's keeping in the series of 2007 or 2011 where he was absolutely horrendous? Not worried about Pant, I was impressed with his keeping for the spinners, regardless he's good enough to get into the team as batsman.

Saha is probably the last "specialist" wicket keeper on the scene. All the newer keepers focus more on batting because that is their meal ticket. Whether it is Pant or Kishan or someone else, keeping glitches will be there. Pant has already been working with More to improve his keeping. Let's hope he learns fast and fixes the issues he has.

Probably because More was asked to work on Pant's keeping.
