No better feeling than beating them: Rishabh Pant ahead of BGT 2024
As team India gears up for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series starting this month in Australia, Rishabh Pant expressed excitement about playing in a country where he has historically thrived. He emphasized the need for adaptability, particularly in handling the unique bounce and pace of Australian wickets, which differ significantly from those in India.
In a conversation with Star Sports, Pant said, “When you go to Australia, you have to work more on handling the bounce and short balls because the wickets are different there, and the atmosphere is different.”
Discussing the competitive nature of Australian cricket, he noted that the home team plays aggressive cricket and does not make it easy for opponents. “There’s no greater feeling than going to Australia and beating them in their home,” Pant stated. He acknowledged that while he won’t initiate conflict, he wouldn’t shy away from responding if provoked, emphasizing the importance of having a strong mentality against the aggressive Australian side.
