Rishabh Pant expresses concern with the impact player substitute rule
“We were pretty happy with the 250 on the board but with impact sub, it is getting difficult each and every day,” said by Rishabh Pant at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Pant took a stand against the likes of medium pacers, Mukesh Kumar and Rasikh Dar to halt the MI batsman from stepping out.“Definitely, I can keep up to the stumps but the bowlers also should be confident…with batters like Tim David walking down, and today it worked.” mentioned Pant.
Opening batsman, Jake Fraser-McGurk was lauded by their skipper, Rishabh Pant. Jake took the IPL universe by storm with just another smashing score of 82 off 24, where he pounded 11 fours and 6 sixes.
Rishabh Pant further added, “He has been amazing since the first day and this is what you want from a younger player, he’s getting better and better with each game. The chances are increasing day by day, but we are taking it one game at a time,”
