Former India opener Gautam Gambhir gave important advice to Rishabh Pant, saying that he will have to be mentally better to become a successful cricketer. Gautam Gambhir believes that he may have benefited greatly from the break he got from the coronavirus.
Gautam Gambhir said about Rishabh Pant in the Star Sports show Cricket Connected,
“I think you have to be better in terms of skill, but to be a successful international cricketer, you have to be mentally strong too. You can hit the ball as long as you want, but face criticism It is very important to be mentally strong. You will have to face criticism whenever you play. I think they will benefit from this break and will have to see how they face criticism.
Rishabh Pant has been criticized a lot
Let us tell you that after the 2019 World Cup, Rishabh Pant got a chance to play as a wicketkeeper-batsman in the Indian team. However, the way he lost his wickets on many occasions, he was also criticized after this. The reason behind this was his keeping. This was the reason that Rishabh Pant lost his place in T20 and ODI team earlier this year.
In his short career, Rishabh Pant has played 13 Tests, 16 ODIs and 27 T20 Internationals so far. In these matches, Rishabh Pant has scored more than 1500 runs with the help of 2 centuries and 5 half-centuries.
Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has also given a significant response to Rishabh Pant. Irfan Pathan has said that there is a lot of talent in Pant and this is why people got the most attention. However, due to the break, attention has now shifted from him and this will benefit Rishabh Pant.
Rishabh Pant has started training once again after a long break and is practicing with Suresh Raina. He can certainly learn a lot from Raina and this will help him as well.
