Will Rishabh Pant Play In Place Of KL Rahul Batting Coach Vikram Rathore Denied

The Indian team is in great shape in the T20 World Cup. India have won both their opening matches and are at the top of their group in the points table. India defeated Pakistan in the first match and Netherlands in the second match. Now India’s third match is against South Africa. Before this, there is a demand for change in Team India. India’s opener Lokesh Rahul has been a flop in both the matches. He scored four against Pakistan and nine against Netherlands. After this, it is being said that Rishabh Pant should be included in the team in his place.

Axar Patel is currently the only left-handed batsman in the Indian team. In such a situation, with the arrival of Pant, there will be a left-handed batsman in India’s top order as well. This will make it difficult for the opposition bowlers to strategize and catch the exact line length while bowling. However, India’s batting coach Vikram Rathor has said that there will be no change in the team and only Rahul will open the innings in the match against South Africa.

In the pre-match press conference, Vikram Rathor was asked whether Pant would get a chance in place of Rahul. To this he replied “No, we’re not really thinking that. Two matches, I don’t think that’s right. He’s batting really well and he’s batted really well in the practice matches. So we Don’t see anything like that at the moment.”

Talking about India’s new aggressive approach, Rathore said: “We are looking to adapt to the conditions. Of course, playing with an aggressive approach is always the goal. We want to score runs whenever possible. But then we have to We have to take into account the conditions and see what surface we are playing on.”

“I don’t think these are wickets with 200 or more runs, so we have to play according to the conditions. I think we have done very well in this regard so far,” he said.

Talking about Virat who has been in terrific form, the batting coach said: “I think the conditions demanded him to play a certain way and he has done that. He wants to change his game or change his game to the team. That’s what’s needed here, and he’s done that brilliantly so far, and we know he’ll keep doing that.”
