IND vs AFG: Due to which BCCI took away the Test vice-captaincy, Rishabh Pant made the same mistake.

The only test being played between India and Afghanistan is going on in Mullanpur. Team India has maintained its dominance in this match. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, the Indian team has scored more than 500 runs and has 3 wickets left. Yesterday (6 June), Shubman Gill, who returned unbeaten on 103 runs, added 23 more runs in his innings. He returned to the pavilion after playing an innings of 126 runs in 177 balls.

Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant extended his innings by 50 runs and he lost his wicket on a personal score of 81 runs. Pant was moving towards an easy century but he kept walking after playing the wrong shot. Pant hit 6 fours and 3 sixes in his innings.

For this reason the vice-captaincy was snatched away

Before this test match against Afghanistan, the responsibility of vice-captain was taken from Pant. Pant was demoted due to his continuous dismissals by playing irresponsible shots. Head coach Gautam Gambhir said in the pre-match press conference that we do not want Rishabh to change his game but in international cricket it is very important to read the match situation. It is very important to understand the situation the team is in, what is needed at that time and which shot should be played.

Even in the tied matches, Pant has been giving away his wickets by playing bad shots. The Indian team was in a strong position against Afghanistan in Mullanpur, but after the dismissal of Dhruv Jurel, the manner in which Pant lost his wicket by playing a shot in the very next over has once again raised questions on him that when will he take responsibility and play? The Afghan team had placed long on and long off. Despite this, Pant tried to hit a six on the ball of off-spinner Hashmatullah Shahidi and lost his wicket.
