For Rishabh Pant to be a match-winner, he should be set free: Sourav Ganguly


Recommended Posts

We should let this Kid play.

 

Everyone is just after his life.

 

His game atleast in tests is good and let him  continue growing there without any presssure.

 

For ODIs he should be our no 5 or 6 batsmen instead of Jadhav and for T20's try him at 4.

 

But for god sake let him grow. His primary job is keeping and which so far is going fine with continuous improvements.

Also rarely u come across such talents and their is way to groom them 

With players like Pant, KL, Pandya u have to be shameless backer......back them to the hill n beyond even if public starts to pull their hair

Completely agree.

 

KL Rahul's confidence was broken when even after successful home season against Eng and Aus, Dhawan and Vijay were preferred over him in Africa and he was always someone who was on chopping block.

 

THis management only knows on how to handle bowlers, they just dont know anything about batsmen.

Ganguly is right. The guy has done really well in Eng & Aus by scoring centuries in his maiden tours and we have Syed Kirmani calling Pant as "yeh abhi jhule main hai" (he is still in his infancy) advocating for the inclusion of Wriddhiman Saha.

Even maninder singh has this bizzare interview on youtube where he is saying pant has a lot of attitude that why he isnt picked  in wc, he shud be a nice boy....

 

Thats the problem with these oldies ...

Aggresive player means lack of good attitude 

Nice boy means good players 

 

They were same with kohli, pandya even yuvraj. Those oldies in england were same to pietersen

more expectations , not good.

Thats the things he is highly talented so ppl expectation is high n patience is less....but this cant change his journey of growth. He will have his ups n down.....just becoz ppl have high expectation doesnt mean he ll become a top cricketer from day 1

Exactly, i keep hearing this he has to be consistent....he is a hack....he doesnt have maturity 

Let him be himself....all players grow with time and so will he 

 

 

I agree that we should give more chances to Pant and let him be himself. But,I don't take Ganguly seriously after he said we should play pujara at no. 4 in worldcup.

Dont know where were they when likes of yuvi,dhoni ,kohli got into team just because they were highly skilled unlike others,

Why different parameters for same players nowadays?

Why don't they back them like they used to do before

Anyone else think Pant should be used like Gilchrist - no. 7 in tests, opener in limited overs formats?

I have always believed in this ... his match temperament is more suited to  tests..where he can take his own time  and then cut loose. In ODIs,  the batsman has to score straight away taking 1s & 2s finding gaps, which is not the strong point of Pant. So he is best suited to opening in ODIs where the field restrictions can  allow to  counter this short coming of his.

I don't remember Pant misbehaving or throwing hissy fit on the field. Criticizing him for his shot selections or performance behind the stumps is legit but all this talk about attitude is absolutely crap.

Pant looks like a proper  batsman and much more assured in tests. in ODI's and T20's he comes across like a hack.

 

Sehwag had the same problem as well. Just because he used to score at run a ball in tests, he thought it was mandatory for him to score at 200+ S/R in LOI's.

 

However Sehwag had tremendous balance and was a lot more orthodox in technique relatively speaking in comparison with Pant and even when he made frustrating 20's and 30's in LOI's, it was beautiful to watch.

 

Pant on the other hand has a very unorthodox technique, so it can get painful to watch him at times trying to hoick everything in LOI's. 

 

So far the most aesthetically pleasing innings and assured knock by Pant in LOI was the WC semifinal when he knew he had time to play himself in. Obviously threw that away as well.

Most of the criticism at a Pant is being driven by the Dhoni mafia in news and social media. The day Dhoni announces his retirement, most of such Pant related news will no longer appear.

Many of the old timers (  not all )  don't like seeing a confident young man or a confident new-comer. They like them to be meek and submissive in front of seniors.

 

Only the 1 or 2 established superstars or super seniors were " allowed " to be confident and even bossy.

 

And it was this culture of meekness in our cricket team which had held us back as a dominant cricket nation till about 1999 or thereabouts.

 

But many of these old timers will never change.

The only reason for different standards for Pant is because of pro Dhoni supporters who want to see him fail at all costs so that Dhoni can prolong his career. And these supporters are present also in BCCI and selectors
