Team India upset in England, Rishabh Pant is also having a problem, ‘-we will know till tomorrow …’

New Delhi. Vice Captain Rishabh Pant has criticized the quality of the Dux ball being used in the ongoing Test series against England. Pant said that he never saw the red ball deteriorating to this extent. Dux’s ball size is deteriorating, so that in this series, players are regularly demanding to change the ball by going to the umpires. After the ball is softened, the bowlers are not getting any help from this, due to which the batsman-ghendbaz match is mainly limited to the new ball. Before the Test starting in Lord’s on Thursday, Pant said that the ball has become a big problem and it is not good for the game.

Rishabh Pant said in a press conference before the match, ‘The gauge (whether dux or kukabura) of the balls should be the same. But if it had been small, it would have been better (laughing). The balls are giving a lot of trouble. Certainly I think this is a big problem because the shape of the ball is deteriorating. The shape of the ball is deteriorating too much. This has never happened to me before. It is definitely disturbing for the players because each ball plays differently. When it becomes soft, sometimes the movement is not available. But as soon as the ball changes, there is enough help.

This aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman of India said, ‘As a batsman, you have to keep pace with it. But at the same time I think it is not good for cricket anyway. India chose two spinners and three fast bowlers in their XI for Edgbaston Test and won the match by 336 runs. The batsmen are expected to get a tough challenge from Lord’s pitch. Pant did not confirm whether India would feed two spinners or not.

Pant said, ‘We will know by tomorrow whether it will be 3-1 or 3-2. When you see wickets for two days, sometimes its color changes, moisture also decreases. Captain Shubman Gill also complained about the softness of the ball after the Edgbaston Test. On the ongoing speculation about Lord’s pitch after two flat pitches, Pant said that he is not worried about how the surface will behave.

This left -handed batsman said, ‘We have no problem with whatever situation we give. We do not want to think about what the opposing team is thinking. Are they changing their plan or not? ‘ Pant also feels that a short time break between Edgbaston and Lords will help India to maintain its rhythm. When asked about Jofra Archer’s return to England’s Test team after more than four years, Pant said that he is happy for this England fast bowler born in Barbados.

Pant is one of the most happy players on the field and continues to advise Gill. Regarding the relationship with the captain, Pant said, ‘When there is a good friendship in the team, she eventually appears on the field and the same is happening. Hopefully, we will be able to do the same with our entire team.
