Kotak stated that Rishabh Pant is known for his aggressive batting style but added that the left-handed batter can adapt and defend when needed.
He shared a 209-run stand with captain Shubman Gill, who made 147 off 227 deliveries. India were in a strong position at 430/3 but suffered a collapse in the middle and lower order.
Sitanshu Kotak said that Rishabh Pant has the ability to make his own plans at the crease. Kotak added that Pant takes full control of his game plan and executes it with confidence.
“This innings was a little different than what you normally see from him. But that’s his plan. Just because he plays aggressive cricket doesn’t mean he cannot play defensive," he added.
After Australia Tour, Shubman Gill Made Adjustments - Sitanshu Kotak
“After Australia (tour) he has thought (about) certain things which he implemented. Because after (the) Australia (tour) and England series (followed by) Champions Trophy and then we had IPL, I wouldn’t say that I had a lot of time to do things (with Gill),” Kotak said.
We Were Expecting Better Than That - Sitanshu Kotak on India's Batting Collapse
Shubman Gill had a disappointing outing during the Australia Test series, scoring just 93 runs in five innings at an average of 18.60. However, he bounced back impressively in the first Test against England at Headingley.
“It was a bit of a collapse, I would say, because batsmen were also there. From 430 for three to 471 all out, batsmen also got out in it, isn’t it? So, it wasn’t only the last five; it was a bit of a collapse. We were expecting better than that, but it can happen," he said.
