Being Extra Careful With Him: Rohit On Pant Not Keeping Wickets In 2nd Innings
Pant was hit on the right knee cap in New Zealand's first innings while keeping wickets off Ravindra Jadeja's delivery. In his absence, Dhruv Jurel did behind the stumps duty for the remaining part of the match. However, Pant came in to bat in the second innings and played a crucial 99-run knock and was also involved in a 177-run partnership with centurion Sarafaraz Khan (150) on Saturday.
“It’s just to be a little careful about where he is at and what he is to us. Even when he was batting, he was not comfortably running. He was trying to only put the ball in the stands. But, again, with someone like him, we just need to be extra careful because he has had a lot of minor surgeries, one big surgery on his knee. And he went through a lot of trauma, to be honest, in the last one and a half years. So, it’s just about being extra careful," Rohit said in the post-match press conference after the eight-wicket loss in the first Test.
