Previous India lead trainer Ravi Shastri has proposed that Rishabh Pant shouldn't think a lot and bat in the Andre Russell "mode" if the wicket-manager hitter needs to get the best out of himself and help Delhi Capitals in the continuous IPL 2022 season.
The 24-year-old Pant has't had the best of the time with the bat. He has reached somewhere around 20 of every eight innings yet hasn't changed over any of those thumps into fifties. In general, the left-hander hitter has scored 281 runs in 11 matches, with 44 being his most noteworthy score up to this point.
"I feel once he gets the rhythm rolling he shouldn't transform, he ought to be in the [Andre] Russell shape in this arrangement of the game," Shastri told ESPNcricinfo.
"You get your eye in, you're striking it well - - don't think excessively. Regardless of who the bowler is, assuming that it's there to be smacked, smack it. Who knows, you could win more matches than individuals anticipate that you should," he added.
Shastri accepts the lucidity of attitude that separates Russell as one of the most damaging hitters in the briefest configuration will work well for Pant.
"Russell is incredibly, clear in his attitude. It is bang-bang once he's in that frame of mind. There's no halting him, there's not so much as a negative idea that will peep through his framework - - it is [all about] smacking. Rishabh is absolutely fit for playing in that design, and I want to believe that he thinks in that manner since you'll see a few exceptional innings from him in T20 cricket," he said.
The Delhi Capitals captain is scoring at the strike pace of more than 150 however he is neglecting to convey game dominating thumps. In any case, Shastri doesn't think Pant needs to treat his methodology.
"He's getting off to starts and afterward getting out in a way which he wouldn't like, however I don't figure he ought to change his beat" the prominent analyst said.
Delhi Capitals will confront Rajasthan Royals in their next IPL 2022 match at the D.Y Patil Stadium on May 11.
