Rohit Sharma Shuts Down England Star with ‘Rishabh Pant Reminder’ Over Yashasvi Jaiswal Comment

India’s captain Rohit Sharma displayed his readiness to face any challenge as he addressed the press conference ahead of the 5th Test against England in Dharamsala. When questioned about England batter Ben Duckett’s comment regarding the credit for Yashasvi Jaiswal’s aggressive batting, Rohit delivered a strong response reminiscent of Rishabh Pant’s fearless approach on the field. Rohit didn’t hold back, suggesting that perhaps Duckett hadn’t witnessed Rishabh Pant’s batting prowess before making such remarks.

IND VS ENG 5th Test

Referring to the emerging talent of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has been India’s standout performer in the series, Rohit asserted his dominance in the press conference. Jaiswal has accumulated an impressive 655 runs in 4 matches at an average of 94.57 and a striking rate of 78.63. Duckett had earlier insinuated that England’s playing style had influenced Jaiswal’s aggressive approach, a comment that didn’t sit well with Rohit and others.

Rohit’s reaction was not solitary; former England captain Nasser Hussain also condemned Duckett’s statement. Hussain emphasized that Jaiswal’s success stems from his own dedication and hard work, rather than any external influence. He urged both players and fans alike to acknowledge Jaiswal’s talent and learn from his example. Hussain’s critique highlighted the importance of self-reflection within cricketing circles, cautioning against blind adherence to particular playing styles or regimes.
