The former RCB coach, Sanjay Banggar, believes that PANT will stand out in the first order in the Ball White Cricket. He also suggested replacing Aiden Markram proteas, who only managed to score 15 in his last game, with the pacemaker Joseph Joseph.
“I always believed that in the white ball format, the best position for him is at the top. Let him open the tickets. Leave Markram and get Shamar Joseph. The average order does not change with regard to batters abroad,” he said.
In addition, he emphasized the strong Pant statistics against the turn and the rhythm in the longest formats while advising the management that uses it at the top of the batting order.
“Libere Rishabh Pant. Rishabh, as a batter, in the longest format has shown that he is also a much better player against the quality rhythm. He has the reputation of hitting the turn. He has done it well against the rhythm. So use it at the top of the order,” he told the announcers.
But in reality, Banggar’s suggestion contradicts Pant statistics while opening. The Wicktkeeper-Bater has played four times as a starter in its 111 IPL inputs and has an average record of 26 and a strike rate of 136.84.
Lucknow Super Giants will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium tonight.
