Rahul Dravid has said that the team management will back Rishabh Pant’s assaulting inclination as a batsman yet will have discussions with him about singling out his moment to play his image of uber-aggressive cricket.

Pant was the subject of much examination following his excusal for a three-ball duck in the second innings of India’s loss in Johannesburg, his choice to charge at Kagiso Rabada at a pivotal point in the game much addressed, most strikingly by previous India chief Sunil Gavaskar on critique. Rishabh Pant was excused in the midst of an antagonistic spell from Kagiso Rabada, whose wickets on the third day of the Test had nullified India’s initial benefit procured through the Ajinkya Rahane – Cheteshwar Pujara partnership.

“We realize Rishabh plays decidedly and he plays in a specific way and that has got him a smidgen of accomplishment,” Dravid said after India’s seven-wicket rout. “In any case, definitely, obviously there are times when we will have a few degree of discussions with him around, a tiny bit of piece of perhaps only choice of an opportunity to play that [shot].

“Nobody’s always going to tell Rishabh not to be a positive player, not to be a forceful player, however here and there it’s simply an issue of singling out an opportunity to do that. I think when you just come in, perhaps giving yourself a smidgen additional time may be somewhat more prudent, however look, in the end we realize what we’re getting with Rishabh – he is a truly sure player, he’s somebody who can shift the direction of a game rapidly for us, so you normally won’t remove that from him and request that he become something altogether different. Here and there it’s just with regards to sorting out what is the ideal opportunity to possibly assault or perhaps play out a somewhat troublesome period that sets the game up for you or sets the innings up.

“He’s learning. He plays with a certain goal in mind, so it’s continually something that he will continue learning, he will continue improving and continue to improve.”
