Ind vs SA: Rishabh Pant failed or passed in his captaincy debut, South African legend assessed

New Delhi, Online Desk. Rishabh Pant made his debut in T20 International cricket as a captain against South Africa in Delhi, but even after a good score. His team was defeated by 7 wickets, which was disappointing. Pant, of course, made his debut as captain with a defeat, but former South African cricket team captain Graeme Smith seemed very happy with him and praised him fiercely. Smith was very happy with the kind of decisions Rishabh Pant made on the field.

Rishabh Pant still has a lot of responsibilities to take

Graeme Smith said that when you lose you always criticize a captain. But Rishabh Pant still has a lot of responsibility to take. I was very interested to see him in his last game for Delhi Capitals. Which was a win, and he had some tough times in that match. But I think his captaincy in the first match against South Africa was very good. And he went to the right people at the right time. He tried his best to stay in the game.

Pant went to Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar

He further said that when the South African team was under pressure. Rishabh Pant went to Harshal Patel and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Overall he took a lot of right decisions. However, sometimes they don’t work because your bowlers have to perform well. Well I think he can look back and look at this match. And say that I made the right decisions at the right time. I think his confidence must have increased after this match. Let us tell you that after the Delhi T20 match, India has been left behind 0-1 in the five-match T20 series. And now the second match of this series between the two countries will be held in Cuttack on June 12.
