Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has revealed that wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will be available for batting on the fifth day of the fourth Test against England at Manchester’s Old Trafford. Pant suffered a leg injury on the first day of the match.
I released India Verses England in Ninchester, on the fourth day of the fourth Test, there was a time that India had to cloud of defeat. That is the unwavering partnership of KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, so far Team India has been handled. On the fourth day, England scored 669 runs in their first innings and took a lead of 311 runs over India (358). Team India’s debut in the second innings was very terrible. Chris Woakes dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudarshan in the first over and gave two big shocks. At that time it seemed that the entire team of India would be reduced to the fourth day, but England could not succeed in their mans while being KL Rahul and Shubman Gill. But the work is not over yet. The entire game of the fifth day is left in which India has to play a maximum of 90 overs. Apart from KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, other batsmen will also have to take responsibility for standing at the crease. In such a situation, the question is whether Rishabh Pant will come down to bat on the 5th day or not?
Let me tell you, during India’s first innings on the first day of the Manchester Test, Rishabh Pant had a ball from Chris Woakes. It is reported that Pant has a fracture in his leg. However, when needed, he definitely came down to bat the second day and scored a brilliant half -century. But he is not doing wicketkeeping in this match. In such a situation, India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has responded to his availability.
Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has revealed that wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will be available for batting on the fifth day of the fourth Test against England at Manchester’s Old Trafford. Sitanshu Kotak has confirmed that India will once again need Pant’s services on the fifth day, so this star batsman will once again be available for batting.
Kotak said in a press conference after the fourth day play was over, “I think he will bat tomorrow.”
In addition, the Indian batting coach said that the players will have to play every ball on the last day according to their merit and avoid unnecessary risk.
He added, “Don’t plan in advance. Play the ball as per the merit. Avoid unnecessary risk. If you are fully prepared and then reduce unnecessary risk, the only way to get out is to get a bad behave after getting out of the ball or you get a great ball. You need to train your brain to play according to the situation.
