"Rohit mentioned that they don't want to make things too hard for the younger players on the team people such as Pant, Shubman Gill, and Yashasvi Jaiswal. He pointed out that these young players all face similar challenges. According to him, they're aware of what they need to do. Our job is to support them, so they keep thinking carefully about the little things that matter in their approach. We don't have to load them with a substantial amount of advice", he added.

 Rohit made it clear that Pant really believes in what he can achieve and is working very hard to become better Rishabh understands it. He's not simply sitting around he's actually out there trying to enhance his approach since he expects a lot from himself. We're all hoping that he'll pull through with some amazing performances in the next two games, he mentioned. Since the series is square at 1-1 the next match is set to begin on Thursday, December 26.
