Pant, who roared with delight as he finished the game for the Delhi Capitals against Rajasthan Royals, as his critics have been harsh on him for lacking maturity and his inability to finish off games.
The chairman of selectors MSK Prasad also pointed out the maturity issue after the announcement of the squad. To which Pant feels that it is essential to give time to a person. He is 21 and he cannot think like a 30-year-old as one matures gradually and not overnight.
The wicket-keeper batsman from Delhi seems to have moved on from the agony of not being picked and is at the forefront of the Delhi Capitals campaign. The ultimate aim for him is to ensure his team crosses the line, be it in the Indian jersey or the Capitals one.
Rishabh Pant also is one of the standby’s for the World Cup, wants to contribute as much as he can to help his franchise claim the IPL trophy for the first time.
