Rishab Pant Reacts After Crowd Chants 'Pant, Pant' at CSK's Home Ground Chepauk!

Rishab Pant along with Shreyas Iyer helped India post a 288-run target in the first ODI against West Indies at Chepauk Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Despite a sluggish and slow pitch, Pant did not let anything get in his way.

During the course of his innings, crowd at the stadium chanted 'Pant, Pant' to encourage him. That reminded us of the times when fans used to chant Dhoni's name mocking Pant's poor show.

Speaking after the match, Pant said, “Sometimes it is important when crowd support you because as an individual I was thinking of scoring big runs but I was not getting there. I’m not saying I got there but I’m just trying to improve everyday. As a team point of view, whatever I can do to help my team win and to have a good score on the scoreboard that’s what I was focusing and in the end I got some runs."

“Personally, if I play for India every inning is important for me. As a youngster, I just want to learn and improve myself each and every day of cricket I’m playing,” he added.

“There is nothing like the natural game you have to bat according to the situation or team demand. You can only be good if you bat according to the situation. I want to focus on my process as a player. You have to believe in yourself. I’m only focusing on what I can do whatever team management decides is good for the team."
