IND vs ENG 2022 | Rishabh Pant did no wonders, remarks Mohammad Asif

In a trademark twitter video of his, the Pakistani pacer put the blame of the big score on England and their inept bowling tactics.

“It was totally England bowlers’ fault as Pant did no wonders. He has technical faults. His left hand doesn’t work but still he managed to score a century because English bowlers didn’t bowl to him in his weak areas,” Asif observed.

Pant came in at a difficult stage of the game, with India reeling at 98/5. He took the game to the opposition immediately, before capitalizing on England’s decision to bring Jack Leach into the attack. The wicketkeeper batsman in a furious onslaught hit the spinner for three sixes and eight boundaries, completely turning the tide of the game.

This isn’t the first time Asif has ventured a controversial opinion regarding an Indian player. Two years ago, he had remarked that Kohli was a bottom handed player, claiming the former skipper’s downfall will come soon enough as his fitness wanes. Kohli has now not scored a century in over two and a half years. He was again caught short-handed against England, causing Asif to double down on his previous statement.
