Badani Urges Gambhir: 'Tell Rishabh Pant to Play His Game'
Former India batter Hemang Badani wants Delhi Capitals head coach Gautam Gambhir to tell Rishabh Pant to play his own game.
Pant is the vice-captain and Badani thinks he shouldn't worry about the leadership role.
Badani believes Pant should focus on batting freely and putting pressure on the English bowlers during the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Pant, despite his young age, is one of the most experienced players in India's team.
The team management's approach will be key to Pant's success.
Gambhir is currently away but is expected to return soon.
Hemang Badani hopes Gautam Gambhir advises Rishabh Pant to play his natural game against England.
Pant is the India vice-captain for the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Badani believes Pant should not focus on leadership responsibilities and put pressure on English bowlers.
Pant, 27, is one of the senior players in a young Indian side touring England.
Gambhir is expected to return to the tour on June 17.
