After Rishabh Pant hit a magnificent 65 not out to help India seal the T20I series against West Indies 3-0, India skipper Virat Kohli was all praise for the wicketkeeper batsman’s match-winning knock.
“It was a really good performance from Pant in the series. For the first two games, he was disappointed that he didn’t get any runs. He was playing really well, hitting the ball well but that’s how T20 cricket goes. Sometimes, you don’t have the rub of the green,” said Kohli.
“But today, he made sure he applied his skills and backed himself to hit the big shots when required and played with the tempo of the innings which was required. The message from the batting coach for him was to finish the game and hit the winning runs. And he did that. That always gives you more confidence as a player when you return not out.

“So, we are really looking forward to seeing more performances from him like he did today. We all know that he’s got tremendous talent and it’s just about getting into his zone and doing this more often for the team,” he added.
