Rishabh Pant Talks About Facing Nathan Lyon In Brisbane Test
“So, what does a good bowler think? He won’t hit it if it turns out like this. In my head, I was thinking about something else (hitting the ball for a six). He was thinking about what had just happened; he had no idea I could do something like this. I arrived with a different mindset: if the ball is in my zone, I will hit it regardless of who the bowler is “He continued.
Pant walked out to bat in the fourth innings when Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed just before tea with the score 167/3. The Australia series skipper revealed how he told the wicketkeeper-batter to see out the session until tea, and then he won’t tell him anything.
“Rishabh Pant was entering the dressing room as I was leaving. I just told him that there are 15 minutes left for tea; use these 15 minutes wisely, stay on the field, and lie down if necessary. I’m not going to tell you anything after tea “Rahane stated.
