Former india test

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India opener Wasim Jaffer believes that Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper Rishabh Pant still has to work on rotating strike and his shot selection after the wicketkeeper-batter scored a 49-ball 63 against Chennai Super Kings in Lucknow.

Pant, who was struggling with runs in previous matches, started briskly with 27 runs off his first 16 balls and slowed down considerably after that and was on 38 off 38 at one point before being dismissed by CSK pacer Matheesha Pathirana for 63 off 49 in the final over of LSG innings.

"I don't know whether he looks to do that (rotate strike). Kohli is a master at that. He gets off strike so nicely as he can play all around. But Pant sometimes does get stuck, and that's the issue. Then he goes for that big shot. I just feel he needs to get better at rotating strike as well," said Jaffer on ESPNcricinfo TimeOut.
