2nd Test: Can Expect Interesting Decisions From Pant’s Instincts As Captain, Says Sundar
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: India’s off‑spin bowling all‑rounder Washington Sundar believes Rishabh Pant will rely heavily on his instincts as he leads the side in the second Test against South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
Pant becomes India’s 38th Test captain, and is only the second wicketkeeper‑batter after MS Dhoni to lead the side in the longest format. Incidentally, Pant’s first outing as Test skipper comes at the same venue where he made his ODI debut in 2018.
He was entrusted with leadership duties after regular skipper Shubman Gill was ruled out due to a neck injury. “He’s a little different from him as the captain. He’s someone who would go in with his instincts and we all know how he thinks about his game, especially when he bats. So I think we can expect a lot from his instincts and I hope he takes some interesting decisions as well,” said Sundar to broadcasters ahead of the start of the game.
