Knightwatchman Akash Deep replaced Rishabh Pants in Lord’s
When India kept losing wickets in the last half an hour of the day, Captain Shubman Gill’s wicket was the largest of them. But even more concern for the fans was that the sky deep did not come instead of Rishabh Pant. 5.
Indian No. 9 may have been sent as a nightwatchman so that KL Rahul could be dismissed by playing most balls, but still, it was not a very possible decision, as seen in India’s test matches recently.
KL Rahul, the only Indian batsman has shown some forms, waiting for Rishabh Pant’s arrival with a son, but Indians surprised their sleeves one more, as the sky came deep.
With a lot of batting towards the back of the Indian innings, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Rishabh Pant, who will probably be sent, were decided only in the last minute to avoid the loss of any important wicket.
Ravichandran Ashwin left bold comments on the nightwatchman move
Whether the decision was corrected or wrong, the answer can only be made on the basis of the result of the match and those who took the call by the Indian management.
However, Rishabh Pant’s former Indian spinner and team partner claimed loudly on the incident, saying that the pants do not like batting during the concluding minutes of the game, and they mentioned a previous incident for India during their sports days.
“I will tell you a story. Remember that Test match in Mirpur when India was scoring some 140 runs to win? So I was sitting in the dressing room after bowling and resting. It was all hot and humid. I was sitting next to the analyst and Rahul Dravid (Head coach) was a little ahead, “Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
“After losing the first two wickets, Rishabh said that ‘Main Nahi Jaa Raha Batting Key’ (I am not going out to bat) for Rahul Bhai. It was a good for 30-40 minutes.
“When the next wicket fell and the number 4 batsman was about to go in, he went in and had to send Exer Patel first, I think, and then Jaydev Undkat had to go as a nightwatchman.”
Uncertainty on the arrival of Rishabh Pant, the arrival of God
Rishabh Pant, a left-handed wicket-keeper batsman for India, has been a stunning artist in England. He has already gathered a pile of runs in the series and has played a stunning hand in the first innings.
Pant will be an important part of the Indian second innings, as India still need 135 runs to chase in the innings. But before his absence on the field and sending the sky, he inspired him suspicion in the minds of Indian fans.
