Rishabh Pant Should Be Given A Lot Of Leeway

Rishabh Pant should be given a lot of leeway Let’s get one thing straight. Rishabh Pant can be a match winner and on this ground alone should be persevered with.

Swashbuckling batsmen have always faced the criticism that they have been careless in their approach, that they have not put the team’s interests first. Kris Srikkanth faced this charge in the 80s and some 20 years later Virender Sehwag too frequently came under the scanner. No one can however deny that they were game changers who could put the game beyond the opposition in a matter of minutes.
