IPL 2026: 'Pant Is A Prisoner Of His Own Reputation,' Says Aakash Chopra
Lucknow Super Giants: Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra believes that India's wicketkeeper batter and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain Rishabh Pant is a prisoner of his own reputation of playing unorthodox shots and needs to reassess his approach especially in the white-ball format as he gears up for the 19th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which will commence on March 28.
Chopra pointed out that Pant’s tendency to play risky shots has often worked against him and recommended that he should return to fundamental techniques in order to regain his position in the Indian T20I setup.
“The scrutiny around Rishabh Pant is justified. He is a prisoner of his own reputation for playing unorthodox shots and rarely looks to grind out runs when the situation demands it. Last season, despite opportunities to take time and rebuild his form, he continued to play risky shots, which drew criticism," Chopra said on JioHotstar.
