Lucknow Super Giants: India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is widely praised for his unorthodox playing style and effortless six-hitting skills but during his early cricketing days he was forced to learn defensive play by his then coach Tarak Sinha.

Pant, who was part of India's Champions Trophy-winning squad, did not get a chance to play a single game in India's title-winning Champions Trophy campaign as KL Rahul was picked ahead of him.

Sharing an anecdote of his cricketing journey, Pant revealed how his coach used to react to his aggressive batting style in the nets.
