Please tell that Pant is currently playing for India in the Test series on Bangladesh tour. For Team India, he played a quickfire 46 runs in the first innings. During this, he faced 45 balls in which he also hit 6 fours and 2 sixes.
On his YouTube channel, Salman Butt said on Pant’s fitness, ‘Rishabh Pant was playing the way he wanted against Bangladesh, but got out trying to do something new by reaching his half-century. I have always been saying on Pant’s fitness that the kind of shots he tries to play, if he was fully fit, he could have easily played but due to his increased weight, he could not do so.
He said, ‘I think Pant is overweight. He has definitely put on weight. That’s why they are not agile. His fitness level is at the bottom. In such a situation, questions arise on his place in the team as well.
India has a lead of 254 runs in the first innings
Of course, questions have been raised on Pant’s fitness, but due to his explosive batting in the first Test match against Bangladesh, Team India scored 404 runs. Pant handled the batting of Team India at a time when players like Shubman Gill, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli had returned to the pavilion for 48 runs.
Since then, Pant managed to handle the team with his flamboyant innings. In bowling, Kuldeep took five wickets for India, due to which the host Bangladesh team was reduced to just 150 runs and India got a strong lead of 254 runs in the first innings.
