Team India sweating over Rishabh Pant's fielding
Leeds, July 3 (CRICKETNMORE) His exclusion from the team for the World Cup had become an issue that was debated on national television. But ever since joining the squad as replacement for Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant has cut a sorry figure on the field. Not only have the likes of skipper Virat Kohli and M.S. Dhoni had to hide him in the field, but fielding coach R. Sridhar making special mention of Pant saving five runs in the England game shows the effort that the player needs to put in on his fielding.
"A lot of work has to go into him, first of all he needs to improve his technique in throwing and he also needs to get in mind to be an outfielder. But what we have now, we'll have to use him in the appropriate positions. That is why Virat and MS are always keen to keep him in the right place at the right time and get the best out him. Last game he saved five runs which is a huge bonus, and he took a catch as well," the fielding coach said after the Bangladesh game.
