Rohit Sharma via Post Match Interview
Rishabh Pant has been through some really tough times, the way he was managed himself through those tough times was superb to watch. He came back in the IPL, followed by very successful world cup and this is the format he loved the most. For us, it was never about what is he going to do with bat. We always knew what he had with bat and with gloves as well. It was just about giving him the game time credit to him as well, he went on to play Duleep Trophy and got ready for the test match and had an impact straightaway in the game.
Q. Who Is Their Captain? Shanto or You?
Keep talking to Ajay (Jadeja) Bhai off the field. He says that the quality of cricket should keep improving wherever you are playing and whoever you are playing against. I saw that there was no fielder there (mid-wicket), I saw two fielders at the same area. So I told them to move one fielder to the mid-field position.
