Former selector madan Lal has said that he would have stopped rishabh pant from being appointed as the captain of the indian team if he was in charge. KL Rahul, who was named captain in the t20 series against South Africa, was ruled out due to injury. rishabh pant was subsequently appointed interim captain at the age of 24. The indian team lost the first 2 matches.
Rishabh Pand's mistake
However, the indian team performed well and won the next 2 matches to level the series. In this, Akshar patel was dropped in front of dinesh karthik under the captaincy of rishabh Pandit, who later corrected it even though he had made the mistake of not giving full lead to the leading players.
Pressure on the batting
But the captaincy load affected rishabh Pundit’s game, and he was outplayed in that series on short runs. Gavaskar and others criticized rishabh pant as a batsman who escaped with little escape, especially in the net spread by South Africa. This has become an obstacle for rishabh pant to take over as the next captain of the indian team.
I will be detained
In this situation, madan Lal, the 1983 world cup winner and former selector, said he would stop rishabh pant from becoming the captain. Being the captain of the indian team is a big responsibility. It should not be given to a young player like rishabh Pant.
To reach maturity
Rishabh pant still needs to mature as a player and batsman. He is only 24 years old now. What a rush to change him into the next captain, he's right here. He still needs 2 years of experience playing as a player. dhoni is a cool captain and virat kohli is a great batsman.
