Had Pant stayed a bit longer with pandya, story could have been different. That shot was on for Pant. It was a brilliant catch..above normal. Link to comment

Dhoni has 148 in his 5th innings alone while this dude couldn't even get past 36 till now That Bat flying in the air is the best part of his innings yesterday and the way he got out was awful some maxwell afridi type hacking..

Pant has a century in a test in England on his first tour which Dhoni never got. Different players adapt differently and take their own time settling into international cricket. Once you give them a proper run in the middle order or any place, this will prosper. With so much pressure of World Cup line up preparation on management, they haven't been able to given proper chance to any of the youngsters. Pant was part of that queue who never really got a proper run in ODI'S. Pant was lucky that Saha got injured and that he could get a proper chance in Test, and he grabbed that chance and there is no way anyone can replace Pant now in Test Matches. Same thing will happen in ODI's or can happen once Pant is given proper run post World Cup. ViruDilSeKhelo 1 Link to comment

England can play two keepers because both of them are outstanding fielders.Pant is not a good fielder , if he was good fielder I think he would have gotten more chances as batsman before this world cup.Unless Dhoni retires Pant cannot fit into this team.

Dhoni could not hit an international 100 outside Asia in his entire career of 15 years. Pant scored 2 int’l 100s in first 6 months of his career. BTW Pant has batted in a grand total of 5 ODI innings so far, scored 125 runs@25 Dhoni after 4 innings had 22 runs@7, highest of 12. His then captain had the foresight to see what he can do and sent him at 3. Pant’s captain and vice captain mock him as they have to protect their 38 yr over the hill ‘mentor’.

Asking a guy who bats at #6 to score 100 is like asking a keeper who never bowled to take 5 wicks. BTW Dhoni faced 20 balls in those 4 innings and Not out onceIts funny how you are blaming Virat and Rohit for his failures New guy, manu4411 and Pollack 3 Link to comment

Pandya_Power Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 To those calling him a hack...the pull shot he played off Wood was bowled at 149 kph / 92 MPH!! He is just the kind of guy we need to rejuvenate our middle order. Mosher 1 Link to comment
GautiMaan Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Not much wristwork or chip shots in his game,the kind that you need in the middle overs to keep the scoreboard ticking without taking too many risks,which is why I feel he should not be thrust into No.4 rule but as an aggressor at 6 who can move up as his career progresses bowl_out 1 Link to comment

asterix Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I’m concerned about his batting. We knew his hackish batting... He’s not understanding the huge battle we are fighting against the Dhoni brigade... His hack batting is allowing M$D, his PR team and fans to go around with “we told you guys” attitude... We need a solid performance from him to counter the Tuk Tuk (sounds like Tukde Tukde) Gang... Suhaan and maniac 1 1 Link to comment

Stuge Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) bacche ko time do .You guys are mean and would drop every cricketer if given a chance for being impatient.

Mosher Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Give him time. Pant's shot selection will improve the more he plays. Ideally he should have played 15-20 ODI's by now. Suhaan and Laaloo 2 Link to comment
asterix Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Nobody’s asking Pant getting dropped and not give him time. Unfortunately in WC only 2 matches maximum remaining... He can take all his time to improve in any bilateral series. There’s not much time left here and he needs to quickly adapt, which means cut out early hoiks, not try cross batted shots early on and try to take some singles before launching on his hoiks...

mishra Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Pant can not go anti Dhoni. In fact no player can be part of team with negative vibes as pressure will bring him down. I hope its all settled and Dhoni is actually supporting Pant in passage of power Link to comment
