Perhaps, the patience for the fans on Rishabh Pant is going out with every match of the Indian National Cricket Team. The team management and the Indian board believes Pant can be the perfect replacement for Mahendra Singh Dhoni. They are hoping him to come good in at least one match to shut the critics but the southpaw isn’t giving the chance for the team on a consistent basis.

Pant was asked to curb his natural batting mode and was given a lot of classes by the icons of the game to play as per the requirement of the team. But, on Saturday, once again, he did the old-Rishabh Pant there at Florida. With team chasing pretty low tally on the board, it was a matter about staying in the middle with Virat Kohli.

But, that wasn’t the case with Pant, as he found a way to see himself walking back to the pavilion with a golden duck. He swept the ball straight to the deep fielder right in his first ball, which was the last thing that team wanted with just 96 to chase down.

It was another wasted opportunity for Pant. Meanwhile, many wondered how long he can be allowed to keep playing with such recklessness. India still managed to get the win but fans weren’t at all pleased with Pant’s effort. The 21-year-old was expected to show more restraint, especially against a senior bowler like Sunil Narine.

Before the start of the match, Kohli had egged Pant to make the best of the opportunity in Dhoni’s absence. Speaking at a press conference, the Indian captain said: “It’s a great opportunity for someone like Rishabh Pant to really play a lot of international cricket, show his credentials, really unleash his potential at this stage.”

It seems like Rishabh Pant never heard the words of his skipper. However, every cricket fanatic still believes he got talent but the youngster needs to put his words into the actions as quickly as possible.
