India captain Rohit Sharma was in no temper to duck bouncers as he attended the press convention on the eve of the fifth Test in opposition to England in Dharamsala. Rohit, on being requested concerning the remark from England batter Ben Duckett concerning the visiting staff taking credit score for Yashasvi Jaiswal‘s attacking heroics, despatched a agency ‘Rishabh Pant reminder’ to everybody. Hitting sixers within the media convention on Wednesday, Rohit had no hesitation in suggesting to the England staff, particularly Ben Duckett, that they’ve most likely not seen Rishabh Pant bat, therefore such a remark was made.

“There was a guy called Rishabh Pant in our team, probably Ben Duckett hasn’t seen him play,” Rohit mentioned when requested concerning the remark made by the England batter.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has emerged as India’s top-scoring batter within the collection, scoring 655 runs in 4 matches thus far at a mean of 94.57 and a strike-rate of 78.63. Seeing the younger India batter deal in boundaries throughout the Rajkot Test, Duckett had prompt that the England staff’s ‘Bazball’ model of play ought to give credit score for encouraging Jaiswal to play the way in which he has within the collection thus far.

“When you see players from the opposition playing like that, it almost feels like we should take some credit that they’re playing differently than how other people play Test cricket,” Duckett had mentioned.

It is not simply Rohit who discovered Duckett’s remark deplorable. Earlier, even former England captain Nasser Hussain had blasted the participant for his remarks.

“He’s not learned from you. He’s learned from his upbringing, all the hard yards he had to put in growing up. If anything, lads, look at him and learn from him. I hope there’s a little bit of self-introspection going on. Otherwise, it becomes a cult – and, at times, Bazball and this regime has been described as such, where you cannot criticise within or externally,” Hussain had mentioned on Sky Sports.
