Rishabh Pant should be likened to Virat Kohli: Ravichandran Ashwin

Delhi: The Indian cricket team lost by 5 wickets in the first match of the five matches of five matches against England. With this defeat, India has lagged behind 1-0 in the series. Many reasons for defeat are coming out, and many veterans of the cricket world are expressing their opinion on it.

Meanwhile, former off -spinner Ravichandran Ashwin of Team India has also given his response. He gave an important advice to Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir on his YouTube channel and also made special comments about wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant.

Ashwin said, “If I were Gautam Gambhir, I would have told Rishabh Pant that the way you batted, it was capable. It is no less fortunate to be a batsman like you. I would also request him to request him whether we can expect to take him up to 200, because we know that the lower order cannot contribute more.”

Ashwin believes that if Rishabh Pant would carry forward his batting in both innings and take the score close to 200, the team would have been strengthened and England would have got a big goal. In such a situation, India’s possibility of victory would also be much more.

Regarding the comparison of Rishabh Pant and MS Dhoni, Ashwin clearly said, “It is not appropriate to compare MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant. Dhoni never batted at number 5. He was a wicketkeeper batsman, while I would say that Pant would say that both are a batter-witkeeper. There is a big difference between the two. Rishabh Pant has a big difference. Rishabh Pant should be compared to prominent batsmen like Virat Kohli, because he is the main batsman like Virat Kohli. There is a good experience of playing against ticking against. “
