‘He Didn’t Seem To Have Too Much Gas Left In The Tank’: Karim On Pant’s Dismissal
New Delhi: Former India wicketkeeper-batter Saba Karim believes Rishabh Pant's dismissal on day two of the one-off Test against Afghanistan was more a result of fatigue and dehydration than poor shot selection, after the left-hander's impressive innings ended on 81.
Pant, who was removed as India's vice-captain ahead of the series with the role being handed to KL Rahul, appeared set for a century after batting fluently alongside skipper Shubman Gill. However, the wicketkeeper-batter fell for 81 off 121 balls when he miscued an attacking stroke and was caught at mid-off off Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi.
Karim believes that Pant looked in complete control for most of his innings and was surprised to see him depart in that fashion.
