Rishabh pants that tap all boxes as a leader but need something to click as a batter: Zaheer Khan

Mumbai, April 27 (Pti) Rishabh Pant considered all the right boxes a leader, but needed something to click with the bat to return from a weak run of the scores in this IPL, Lucknow Super Giants Mentor Zaheer Khan. Pant has a disappointing run with the bat with this IPL, and registered six single-digit scores for 110 runs in ten games, with its 63 against Chennai Super Kings as the only performance of Noot.

Zaheer rejected proposals that pant, which was purchased for a huge £ 27 crore – the most expensive purchase in IPL auction history – experienced the pressure of the large payment system. “I wouldn’t relate it to anything like that. He is a leader and he was fantastic as a leader, which is something I can know for, “Zaheer told the media after the loss of LSG here at the Wankheid Stadium. “The kind of efforts he made to make sure that every individual in that group is comfortable is heard (out) and planning everything that runs around IPL is about to be.” As a leader, he types all the boxes. As a batter, the middle order is dependent on Rishabh and I am very confident that the impact we want from him will come. It’s just about something clicking, “Zaheer said. The former Indian Pacer said he would not relate the solid price tag of pant to the creation of the Indian wicketkeeper batter.” Down just going on, ‘he said. There are going to be people who are going to be shape. be. (to) regroup (s) rejuvenation is something that will happen if we reach Dharamsala. All the teams did quite enough work. It’s just about finding the spark and the individuals that will make the difference for the franchise, “he added. Zaheer said LSG would not want to rely on situations where the net runs will play in the play -offs playing. It’s just about a good cricket and to make sure we don’t trust the net run rate. This is something we should be aware of, “he said.” If you are talking about winning the tournament, you have to play a good cricket, you must respond to the situations. I am confident that if this group responds in that way, and it is the environment we have created. ” First published: 27 Apr 2025, 09:12 IST
