Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim criticised Rishabh Pant for his dismissal on Day 3 of the second Test against South Africa on Monday, November 24. The wicketkeeper-batter managed only seven runs before gifting his wicket to Marco Jansen.
Pant attempted an aggressive swing but ended up edging the ball to Kyle Verreynne behind the stumps. Coming in after the crucial wickets of Sai Sudharsan and Yashasvi Jaiswal had fallen, the stand-in skipper's approach drew disappointment from fans.
Karim slammed the left-hander for what he described as a reckless shot selection, saying Pant should have absorbed the pressure instead of throwing his wicket away.
