IPL 2025: Pant Has To Bat Up The Order, Shouldn’t Play A Finisher's Role, Opines Pujara
New Delhi: Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara believes Rishabh Pant should be coming higher in the batting order, and feels the wicketkeeper-batter shouldn’t be playing the finisher’s role.
On Tuesday, Pant’s poor run of form continued when he was bowled for a two-ball duck by Mukesh Kumar. But what appeared more worrisome was Pant, IPL’s most expensive player with Rs 27 crore paycheck, being demoted to bat at number seven, with Abdul Samad, David Miller and impact player Ayush Badoni sent ahead of him to inject some momentum into LSG innings.
"I genuinely don't know what the thought process was. There's no doubt he should be batting up the order. He's trying to do what MS Dhoni does, but he's nowhere near (Dhoni's age). I still feel he's someone who should be batting in the middle overs, between (overs) six and 15. He's not a finisher, and he shouldn't be doing the job of a finisher," said Pujara on ESPNCricinfo.
