Really humbling day for Pant

[King Tendulkar]

What a crazy over reactions.  Scored briskly at 150 strike rate and helped propeeled score over 300

 

Crowd was a disgrace

 

Missed one stumping and people go nuts.  Jeez .  Needs to work on his keeping.  But dhoni was awful syanding back and still is lol Cant dive in his pomp let alone now grandad.  Yes dhoni standing up is top notch no doubts.

 

Pant plays one game and jokers say humbling.  Dhoni should be on his kness in humbliness after last few years yet arrogant as comes still

Pathetic shyt from the crowd, but the worse part is that none of the seniors came and encouraged him, like Kohli or Rohit etc.

Dhoni bhakts are everywhere man lol Even in the IPL home team supporters of other franchise root for Dhoni. He has this cult following. Until he retires Pant will be facing this. Hope he shrugs it off. But there are certain areas he has to work on. Especially "oye oye noise" lol better if he cuts it down. At one point he focused too much on chirping and he let the ball go.

Like someone else on the thread said, or maybe it was you, he has become hypnotized by all of the social media attention to the point he has forgotten his own center, and is now playing a role, instead of being himself. It is unfair on a young kid like him, but in the times we are living in, social media adulation and denigration is a part of reality for sportspersons, and he'll have to quickly come to terms with it.

 

The simplest is to just focus on his game and let the rest be. Easier said, I know, and wish him all the best. He also needs good support from his teammates.

Don't care about the crowd but Pant needs to improve a lot as a keeper. That stumping he missed, Turner was so far down the track. He just need to collect the ball and the batsman had no chance. He just has really hard hands standing up to the stumps. He needs to work a lot on his primary skill. It does not matter if he is the greatest batter India ever produced, if he cannot keep, he should be nowhere near the Indian team, unless he can field like Jadeja. He is young, so I am giving him the benefit of doubt, lets see how he develops and improves himself. His mental fortitude also will be tested in the 5th ODI. India seems a confused side now as I don't think the team management knows what is their best squad or even their best X1.

As a keeper when you are standing up ,you must always look for stumping,expect each delivery is a stumping chance,be it any position behind stumps,there is only one mantra expect there is a chance for you in each delivery

Keeping is a very hard job,you do it for whole 50 overs,one lapse and people will pounce on you

Pant needs to rectify his flaws,i remember when DK came into the scene,he had always been agile but the problem with him was he didn't have the delicacy of dhoni standing up,ball used to bounce off his gloves which meant he missed many stumping chances,people used to call him Man with Iron gloves,Pant needs to work on that , keeping against spinners is as tough as keeping against swing bowlers in England and I don't want Pant to go the DK path

Good guy Saha and Suniel Shetty

Abey if he is the greatest batter, he will play just as a batsman and he has the talent to play as a batsman alone.  You are bashing him based on missing a leg side stumping and people are comparing him missing a leg side stumping to Dhoni affecting off side stumpings.  Morons, dont understand that keepers lose sight of the ball when it is going down leg.

Saha is a class act. Now contrast him to mofo Harbhajan, that jealous, insecure, petty sook.

Dhoni does not attempt anything outside leg or offstump that's the reason he never misses.

Two wickets missed , not One. But Kohli was theatrical. Crowd just responded to skippers emotions

O Ok  But stil, Bhaji far superior player, saha could only dream of career bhaji had,  Maybe why saha so humble

[zen]

His keeping is a WIP and I hope that he is constantly learning  .... his batting is pretty good which propelled Ind to 350+ .... More than a humbling day for Pant, a youngster, it was a shameful day for the crowd

At least Saha never indulged in illegal play like chucking, also greatest pure keeper the country has ever produced. Harbahajan is the greatest at throwing racial slurs, slapping his team mates and being an insufferable sook.

O well over 700 international wickets, over 400 of them in tests!  All down the drain as the mob not impressed

Yeah, by a javelin thrower. Even Bedi agrees 

[vvvslaxman]

We are looking at viable choice for batting position no.4 . But Kohli like a fool batted at no.4 and sent Rahul at 3. If you want to test no.4 btasman send the batsman at no.4 not no.3.
