IPL 2024: Virender Sehwag said this

Virender Sehwag was very angry with the manner of Rishabh Pant’s dismissal. He believes that while chasing such a big target, Pant should have remained at the crease and should not have lost his wicket so easily and should have converted his half-century into a big score. Pant has returned to the field after almost a year. Pant narrowly escaped a fatal car accident in December 2022. After that he is making a comeback in IPL. Pant has scored his second consecutive half-century in the match against KKR.

IPL 2024: Sehwag expected a century from Pant

Virender Sehwag said on Cricbuzz that Pant’s innings was good. But you did not score much in the first two matches and now, when you are scoring runs, you cannot give away your wickets like that. You should have stayed, reached the century and remained unbeaten at 110 or 120. Because runs were needed very fast. Sehwag further said that his batting was good. He is back in form and is scoring runs at an excellent strike rate.

Sehwag clearly said that anyway he knew from the first over that he was going to lose, not win. It was time to take some batting practice. Now instead of going to the nets you could have played 20 extra balls here. Then you could probably leave practice and go straight to the next match. Let us tell you that Pant had also scored a half-century against Chennai Super Kings and defeated CSK by 20 runs. With one win in four matches, Delhi is at ninth position in the points table.
