Deep Dasgupta Advises Rishabh Pant to Play Fearlessly Ahead of Sri Lanka Tests
Former cricketer Deep Dasgupta has advised Rishabh Pant to play fearlessly and stick to his natural attacking style ahead of India's Test series against Sri Lanka. Pant has faced recent challenges, including losing his vice-captaincy and inconsistent form, highlighted in a warm-up match where he alternated between rash and cautious shots. Dasgupta emphasized that the Indian team management should support Pant's aggressive approach, noting that dismissals while attacking should not be viewed negatively compared to defensive dismissals.
