Former South African wicketkeeper-batter Mark Boucher feels South Africa will derive success over Rishabh Pant if they tap into the latter's emotions while the Indian arrives to bat during the ongoing Test series. Pant recently made a comeback from his foot injury he had sustained during the five-match tour of England.
Boucher credited Pant's prowess and attacking style of play. He appealed the Proteas to strategize well against the left-handed batter. Boucher advised South Africa to put a few fielders on the boundary whenever Pant comes on strike in order to test his patience. He was also confident that the team management would have already made plans for the southpaw.
Pant made his comeback to professional cricket following the toe injury during India A's red-ball encounters against the visiting South Africa A. The Haridwar-born got a couple of half-centuries in the series, proving his match-readiness for the international return, which eventually happened with the ongoing Kolkata encounter.
