Pandya_Power Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 He has the game to hook/pull 90 MPH bowlers. Is good on the drive and also plays the ramp and scoop shots. What more can you ask for from a middle order bat?? His temperament is qustionable at times, but as we saw in Tests he learns quickly. You cannot judge a guy when he comes in with RRR at 9 from the get-go. I'm so happy he got a hit and will probably settle in once the KOs come around. Imagine Shankar walking in when Rishabh did and ask yourself if you feel comfortable? sergio04, zen, Vijy and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Only Indian keeper with a Test 100 in Eng and Aus. Give him his keeping gloves in LOIs and he will flourish like he did in Tests. Any young keeper batsman will struggle if asked to play as a specialist batsman. Mosher 1 Link to comment
maniac Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 On one hand Dhoni has a cushion, when he sucks at batting which is 9 times out of 10, people talk about his keeping skills, when he sucks at that too, then they say how he is guiding the spinners. On the other hand we have a proper keeper that is an X factor bat and already the 2nd best test keeper bat India has produced behind Saha and we are nitpicking when he is put in such situations where he is playing and judged as a pure bat and on top of that sent above other “experienced” and “specialist bats” to ensure runrate of 8 rpo is kept in check we are a weird team, on one hand we whine about one dimensional players and clamor for 3d players but when we actually get a genuine allrounder we convert him into a one dimensional one Gollum, Mosher, Bigg Brother and 6 others 6 3 1 Link to comment

That's the intent. He will develop his game. We need players like him to win. Iam backing him fully knowing he has deficiencies. Just like Raina was a wonderful player for us selfless and went after bowling. We need his replacement. I think pant will be able to do that. wish we had Ishan kishan, suryakumar Yadav and Mayank in the team. JourneyMan and RedFever 1 1 Link to comment

Cricketics Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Dhoni and Sehwag looked like hacks too if you looking from that perspective, when they first came. beetle 1 Link to comment

Atleast Jadhav has earned his stripes by being a top notch player in domestics. SKY is a bonafide mediocre hack good enough for IPL. Kishan not a 100% sold on him. I used to rate him over Pant but Pant has leap frogged him by miles. Mayank no doubt should be in the scheme of things beetle 1 Link to comment
New guy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) So coming with a RRR of 9 in his first world cup match with seniors hiding and then trying to win the game is bad but intentionally losing the match is good? Edited July 1, 2019 by New guy beetle 1 Link to comment
Lannister Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Looked nervous and fat. Some of his leg side shots were ugly to see. But he did perform better than Dhongi and showed more game awareness. That's a plus. raki05, bowl_out and Stan AF 3 Link to comment

ViruDilSeKhelo Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) We all know he loses shape with some shots, has brainfarts but he has the pedigree to be international class and attacking. A rare breed, he almost had 4 tons in his first few tests batting low down the order. Home and away. Back him fully as the future keeper batsman. His place should not be questioned this entire wc unless you want people like Shankar to come in who can't bat, can't bowl and just field. We should only be thinking which is his ideal position. I still say open. Edited July 1, 2019 by ViruDilSeKhelo nevada, beetle and Vijy 3 Link to comment
mishra Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 He should only walk in last 10 overs of game. Anything early, and it’s receipy for disaster. His game is not made for numbet 4. Both Jadhav and MSD would have done better job. ViruDilSeKhelo 1 Link to comment
rtmohanlal Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 i think the best slot for Pant in ODI is opening. He can be like 'Jayasoorya for shorter periods' .His ODI temperament is best suited for that.I mean while he is at the crease, atleast 'run a ball' is guaranteed .Field restrictions in the first 10 overs would help his method even more. Being a left hander brings in variety at the top too. ViruDilSeKhelo and Vilander 2 Link to comment

In best case he will be caught at point with ball coming quicker then expected or his hoick will go to midwicket instead of square leg boundry. Edited July 1, 2019 by mishra Link to comment

rtmohanlal Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 12 hours ago, Vijy said: (A) He is young and especially inexperienced in ODIs, and (B) He is a better Test player because he does not try and slog every single ball. When Pant is batting sensibly, he is actually a very competent bat. In Aus, he was the second highest run scorer and looked fairly comfortable against good bowlers & pitches. The main issue in T20s and ODIs is that he tries to slog often, loses his shape and plays false shots. Also plays too many dot balls at this stage of his career, which is a big issue in ODIs and T20s. If he can fix these issues, he can become a very good LOI player for us. If not, I still think he will be a top player for us in Tests. spot on... that is why 'field restrictions' & there by opening slot is the best position for him. He is not a slogger but a genuine batsman with all the shots. While he is at the crease, he can score at least 'run a ball' thru proper cricketing shots alone. Field restrictions would enable him even more. This would have positive effects in development as a test batsman too. He can be our Gilchrist if groomed carefully & sensibly. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Its not hackish....he plays a high risk game so its difficult to be consistent. Sehwag was also not consistent in ODI's Link to comment

It is his avg: of 32 that is not that adequate. But the differences here is that in Pan't case , we have proper high qlty batsmen to follow who can make use of the starts Pant can provide while SL is not that good in that regard. More over, apart from that SAF performance off late, Kusal's test credentials are not adequate of a proper batsman while Pant avg:s close to 50 with 2 100s in SENA . That means Pant in general has got a higher ceiling when compared to Kusal. Pant too has age on his side , so it is worth a try taking enough time & patience. ViruDilSeKhelo 1 Link to comment
