The Indian southpaw claimed how he was unable to play shots against an off-spinner. He claimed that he was always getting dismissed. And that was when Ravi Shastri advised Pant to play reverse sweep shots. And that is exactly how Pant has excelled playing the shot in red ball cricket.
“There was a time when I was getting out to off-spinners while playing shots against them. Ravi bhai was thinking about what he should tell me, then he came to me and told me that we have to find a way to tackle off-spinner. He told me that he had found a way and said, “You should play reverse-sweep against an off-spinner and this was about Test cricket,” he concluded.
