Indian Skipper Rohit Sharma Reveals How Rishabh Pant's Tactics Helped India Win T20 World Cup

Indian Skipper Rohit Sharma Reveals How Rishabh Pant’s Tactics Helped India to Win T20 World Cup: Rohit Sharma has now revealed that Rishabh Pant’s tactics played a big role in India’s win, explain in the Kapil Sharma Show.

T20 World Cup 2024 final is still fresh in the minds of cricketing fans. If we talk about Surya’s catch, Bumrah’s Death bowling, or King Kohli’s half-century.

There are many factors that helped India beat South Africa in the final match.

Rohit revealed that wicket-keeper batsment Rishabh Pant thought of a brillinat ploy to slow down things in the middle, helping India disrupt Heinrich Klaasen’s rythm which turned tide in India’s favour.

“When South Africa needed 30 runs off 30 balls, just before that, there was a small break. Pant used his intelligence to pause the game – he had a knee injury, so he had his knee taped, which helped slow down the game – because the game was fast-paced, and at that moment, all a batter wants is the ball to be bowled quickly. But we had to break the rhythm. As I was setting the field and talking to bowlers, suddenly I saw Pant fall on the ground. The physiotherapist had arrived and was taping his knee. Klassen was waiting for the match to start again. I am not saying it’s the only reason, but it could be one of them – Pant Sahab used his smarts and things worked out in our favour,” he said on the show.

After the break, Hardik Pandya dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen, paving the way for the Indian team to pull themselves back in the driving seat. Though David Miller also threatened to take the title away from the team, the pressure was on South Africa in the last 2-3 overs, and India capitalised on the situation.

That is what happened. Hardik dismissed Klaasen in that over, and from then onwards, pressure started to build on South Africa. Then all the boys gathered and started to sledge their batters, details of which I can’t disclose here, but it was essential because we had to win at any cost. To win that, we were willing to take a few fines. That is why I told the boys to say whatever they felt like; we would handle the umpires and referees later,” he explained.
