what did rishabh pant say
Rishabh Pant also said that now people think more about playing in the IPL. He says that the youth should first think about playing for the country. Rishabh Pant told JioHotstar, “Since childhood, I had only one dream. To play for India. I never thought of playing in the IPL. I think people are paying more attention to the IPL today. Obviously, it is a huge platform but I believe if your aim is to play for your country then things will fall in place and that includes IPL as well.”
it is not easy to make a shot
Pant is known for his aggressive batting and his trademark shot is to hit a six with one hand. While doing this, the bat often slips from his hand. Pant explained why this happens. He said, “I think this often happens because my lower hand grip is loose. I use my lower hand just to help a little, but sometimes it dominates. That’s why I keep my upper hand grip tight.” Pant further said that it is not easy to hit a shot when the ball is too outside or short pitched. The success rate in playing such shots can be 30 or 40 percent, but I am ready to take this risk depending on the circumstances of the match. This is my mindset.
