Risabh Pant Again Finds Self Getting Wrong at Reviews, Gets Trolled

New Delhi: Young India stumper Rishabh Pant had a forgettable day as India not only lost by seven wickets against Bangladesh in the first T20I affair of the three-match rubber here but he was also involved in a couple of wrong decisions in the match.

Firstly, poor running between the wickets by Pant costed the wicket of opener Shikhar Dhawan and secondly, India lost a review at a crucial point because Pant believed there was an edge, however, there wasn’t any.

In the 10th over of Bangladesh’s innings, Pant convinced stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma to go for a DRS for the crucial wicket of Bangladesh batsman Soumya Sarkar but it turned out to be a wrong call. The review showed a flat line as the ball went past the bat.

Mushfiqur Rahim, who remained unbeaten on 60 and guided his side to a maiden T20I victory over the Men in Blue, missed delivery and was struck before the leg-stump. Rohit should have gone for a review however, he didn’t.

Pant was also trolled for his poor calls as a user tweeted: “Seems #RishabhPant’s selection was through EVM.”

“When you have a player like Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav and Shubhaman Gill on a bench, why you only go for #RishabhPant #IndvsBan,” another person wrote.

“So the villain is Rishabh Pant. I don’t know what is the hidden talent he has that only revealed in before selectors and not on the ground?#IndvsBan,” a user tweeted. IANS
