Rishabh Pant has featured in 14 matches this season and has gone on to amass 312 runs while striking at 138. Though this seems an improvement from the last season, Rishabh Pant is still not back at his very best, as he has often missed out with the bat.
Former South African wicketkeeper and ex-MI coach Mark Boucher suggested that Rishabh should stop captaining the LSG team if he needs that to return to his best form as a batter. Boucher made this statement during a recent discussion on ESPNcricinfo Timeout.
"There are certain players who need to prepare properly. You need to be able to sit down with your captain and explain your line of thinking. He needs to understand that as well.
"He has a certain way of captaining": Ex-CSK star backs Pant's captaincy despite poor form.
Former CSK batter Ambati Rayudu has had similar views about Pant. However, he said that Pant should either be allowed to make his own calls in an instinctive manner or else he should be removed from captaincy.
"He cannot change his personality overnight. He has a certain way of captaining. If that is not working, the best thing he can do is be a player and enjoy his cricket and perform for the team," he added.
Rishabh Pant's awful record as LSG skipper
He has a win percentage of over 35.71 as the skipper of the LSG side. This season as well, they finished further lower than the previous season, as the Super Giants finished in the last position on the points table with just eight points in the season.
