sandsaims Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Rishabh Pant's game seems to be in terminal decline and even his fitness doesn't seem to be great. Need to get his head right or will find it hard to compete with the likes of Ishan Krishan and Samson. Adamant 1

The energy is their while keeping, he is still chirping behind the wickets. It's just that teams have not bowled to his strength this season & he has had no answers. He needs to evolve & improve his game. Suhaan, Gollum and sscomp32 3

He has an obvious weakness and it was only a matter of time before being found out Adamant, sscomp32, Gollum and 1 other 4
prudent_kreeda Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 I am little skeptical of Pant and Shaw utilising their potential . For me , their level fitness seem to show something about their focus & determination , For 20-22 year olds ,the most basic thing would have been to be really fit as they are international players . If they cannot even keep up their fitness , how much they would have put the hard work to improve their game ? Even their game shows there is hardly much improvement and do not seem to learn from their past mistakes . Shaw has after 2 IPL the worst # for getting out most times within PP.and still he comes and gives high ball catching practice !! Even Pant got chances almost for > 1 year but never capitalised , Now i strongly feel better to invest on Samson based on last 2 innings played by him .There is an effort by Samson now to build an innings and hit more ground strokes which is welcome . My hunch is Shaw & Pant may not play in Aus and if they play & fail , it would be long wait for re entry. Personally i would like both of them not to be considered in any INDIA team till 2021. They should play 1 full domestic season first and India A & if they improve fitness & pile on runs , then they should be in contention. Better INVEST in people who show hunger to excel , to start with - SKY, Ruturaj, Kishan , Padikkal , Garg, Jaiswal . beetle 1

There is simply no excuse for someone in their early 20s to have such pitiful fitness standards. Pant is a WK so how on earth he has got so tubby at his age is staggering - in the history of wicket keeping there have been very few that look like Pant does now. Physical conditioning should be non-negotiable and if they can't motivate themselves to have certain standards then the door should hit their bulky rear ends on the way out.

nevada Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 First he has to lose weight. And then cut out those ugly, way too away from the body shots which make him lose shape and balance. It's okay to get out for a low score but at-least look the part, don't play low percentage shots like a clueless slogger. The way he is batting now, it is a mess and an eye sore. beetle and Gollum 2

I think people have messed up his head. He is trying to play risk free game initially with the hope of catching up later, at which he has failed. He also seems to be under pressure to develop off side game. Overall he is over thinking everytime he comes out to bat and what you see is like a bad remix version of an avg song. nevada and Mosher 1 1
sandsaims Posted November 1, 2020 Author Posted November 1, 2020 His fitness shows he isnt really working hard at his game. Maybe the early success and money has got to his head.
Late Cut Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 He lacks balance at the crease. No way he can be anything other than a hacker with how he flails away.
