‘Someone who gives that…’: Rishabh Pant opens up approach his approach on India’s captaincy
Rishabh Pant will captain India as the team will face South Africa for the second and the series-deciding Test of the two-match series. The hosts had lost the opening match at the Eden Gardens by 30 runs, and Pant is going to lead the team in the second game.
India’s regular skipper Shubman Gill sustained a neck injury on Day 2 of the first Test in Kolkata, for which he has been ruled out from the second Test. Now, since Rishabh Pant is the vice captain, he will be seen leading the team as they step on the field to take on the Proteas in Guwahati.
Ahead of the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati, Rishabh Pant shared his views about being such a leader that provides all the players with their freedom and contribute in a positive manner. “To generalize, I want to be someone who gives that freedom and I want people and players to learn around and make the right decision for the team eventually. That’s the real goal and obviously whatever my knowledge is, that’s going to help them on the field,” he explained.
When asked if he can remain free-spirited while being the one to take all the big decisions, Pant said it wasn’t particularly difficult, indicating that he will simply try to give all he has got and enjoying the match without thinking about anything else.
“And for the free spirit part of the thing, see, I personally don’t think about that. I just want to give my 100 per cent in whatever I’m doing and enjoy the game,” he was categorical.
