Rishabh Pant was seen at his candid self ahead of the final day’s play between India A and India B in the Duleep Trophy fixture at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Surprisingly none of the India A team members seemed to have any issues with Pant listening in on the team’s plans for the day. Fellow international team-mate Avesh Khan following the huddle was seen giving Pant a high-five as well.

Gill’s India A team were able to get the opponents all out having to chase down a target of 275 runs needed to take the win and the six points. But the A-team’s batting was not able to meet expectations with several international stars having a disappointing second innings performance.

The pacer, Yash Dayal started well with three wickets within the first 14 overs to diminish India A’s chances of walking away with a win. But KL Rahul showcased his class with a gritty half-century to keep the team’s chances of a draw in play.

Pant on the other hand continued to showcase his personality while on the field. He was seen on various instances being involved in planning the team’s strategies and helping out the bowlers in getting the field right as well.

Pant earlier also had a decent show with the bat as he scored a quickfire 61 in 47 balls to help India B get some runs on the board when they needed it the most.

He might not be the captain of the side but he seems to have an active involvement in India B’s planning for the final innings where he has been able to showcase his leadership skills.

As the game nears the final stretch, Pant might be looking to help his side get the win by picking up the remaining wickets to ensure that India B get the six points to improve their chances of getting to the final.
