The Indian cricketer has given the answer to why Team India and their fans were missing Rishabh Pant so much in Test cricket after his return. After a car accident in 2022, Rishabh Pant played his first Test match against Bangladesh. In this match, Pant not only made a splash by scoring a century, but his antics on the field also made headlines. The limit was crossed when Rishabh Pant started setting the fielding of the opposition team during the Chennai Test. On the third day of the match, Pant was seen setting the fielding of Bangladesh while batting. Now after the match is over, Pant told why he did this.
Saba Karim asked Rishabh Pant after the match, “When Taskin Ahmed came to bowl in the second innings, why were you setting the field for him? Who is the captain of Bangladesh, Shanto or Rishabh Pant?”
In response to this, Pat said, “Ajay (Jadeja) bhai and I often talk about how cricket should be improved, whether the other team plays or our own. There was no fielder there; two fielders were standing in the same place, so I told them to put a fielder there.”
Let us tell you, Rishabh Pant scored a century of 109 runs in the second innings against Bangladesh, on the basis of his innings India was able to give the target of 515 runs to the visitors. India restricted Bangladesh to 234 runs in the second innings and won the first Test by 280 runs. The second match of the two-match series is to be played in Kanpur from September 27
