After an underwhelming tour to Australia marked by poor shot selection, Rishabh Pant has begun the series against England in an emphatic fashion, scoring a hundred at Leeds to showcase his extraordinary talent.

Rishabh worked on his defence after Australia failures, says childhood coach Devender Sharma

Devender Sharma, one of Pant's childhood coaches alongside the late Tarak Sinha, attributed the resurgence to the work the wicketkeeper batter has put in on his defence and shot selection.

“After he failed in Australia, he made a lot of changes to his defensive techniques and curbed his stroke play, which you also saw in the match, Pant is a match-winner,” Sharma told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview.

“Before he went to England, we discussed his defense because his Australia tour didn't go well. We decided he would play fewer strokes and focus more on batting there.
