When Pant plays, the movement of his legs is not much, he moves little and picks up the ball very quickly wherever he is.
Rashid Latif said that Rishabh Pant allowed the ball to get to him too much during this excellent tackle. He played two or three shots over midwicket against fast pitchers, those shots were commendable. He said that the wicket-keeper Indian batsman played with the England field and freely scored runs of his own volition. He further said that when Rishabh Pant came to bat. At that moment almost all the England fielders were standing inside, but Rishabh Pant took advantage of it fearlessly.
