And the demand to drop him from the third test match has started rising. In such a situation, before the third Test match, captain Virat Kohli has defended him. Virat said,
Mahendra Singh Dhoni told me at the beginning of my career that there should be a gap of 7-8 months between any mistake of yours, only then your career becomes big. Pant himself also understands that this mistake should not happen again and again and we hope that Rishabh will definitely work on his mistakes.
Team India is very close to creating history
