IND vs SA 2021-22: After the defeat in the 3-match Test series, Team India had to face defeat in the first 2 matches of the ODI series ( IND vs SA ). But as this tour is reaching its last phase. By the way, the condition of Team India keeps getting worse. In the first ODI match, Team India could not successfully chase the score, while in the second match, the batsmen scored 287 runs, but this time the bowlers got stuck. After the defeat of Team India, former veteran cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has advised Team India to bring changes in its planning.
Team India also lost the ODI series, After the 3 Test
After the defeat in the Test series (IND vs SA), Team India was expected to make a better comeback in the ODI series. But things are getting worse day by day for Team India. After the Test, now Team India also lost the ODI series. During this entire series, the middle-order batsmen of Team India once again disappointed.
KL Rahul, who is captaining the team in place of Rohit Sharma, failed to make the right strategy for the team on the field. At the same time, Rahul was also able to generate that energy on the field, which Virat Kohli used to do. Team India’s search for a finisher for numbers 6 and 7 is also not being completed. In such a situation, former Indian team veteran Sunil Gavaskar has told an easy plan to get out of these things.
Pant is the best choice to play finisher: Sunil Gavaskar
It is going to be almost 2 years for the retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the former captain of Team India and known as the world’s most finisher. But Team India has not yet got players to fulfill their shortage. The Indian team got a better finisher in the form of Hardik Pandya, but his long-standing injury has increased the trouble of Team India.
In such a situation, Sunil Gavaskar has named the player who can overcome this problem of Team India and can play the role of a finisher in the team. According to Gavaskar, Rishabh Pant can play the role of finisher for Team India very well. Gavaskar wrote in his column for The Times of India,
Pant can be best used at No. 6. In the first match (IND vs SA), the middle order faltered after a brilliant partnership between Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli, as Pant and Iyer (Shreyas and Venkatesh) were unable to take the team forward. In recent times, Pant has been sent down to No. 4 in ODIs where he has not been able to show the right mix of patience and aggression. So I think it might be a good idea to use him as a finisher at No. Where he can play long long shots of his own free will without worrying about the circumstances of the match.
