I Wasn't In Frame Of Mind To Take Charge, Says Pant On His Defensive Knock
Sydney Cricket Ground: India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant reflected on his defensive of 40 off 98 balls in the fifth Test against Australia on Friday and said he was not in the mindset to take charge of the game.
Pant came to bat at No. 5 when India were already reeling at 57/3 in the opening session of the day. Playing according to the demand of the match, Pant took defensive guard and also suffered blows on his body on the green-top Sydney Cricket Ground pitch.
"Definitely, it's painful but sometimes you've to do the hard work for the team and that's okay. Not thinking too much about where I got hit. I was just playing the ball to the best of my abilities and that's the only thing I can do and that's what I did," Pant said after the end of play.
