Where is the Rishabh Pant that was the headline we obtained. Don’t attempt to play good and coy with me. After ten video games he would in all probability give me a hoop and say I simply thought for a second you batted properly now seems to be good. On a critical word, it has been a very good begin for me personally,” he added.
