Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has shared his side of the story about how hard is it to do keeping while star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is in action. These two players have joined hands and taken numerous number of wickets ever since they became the regular players in India’s Test playing XI.
On January 4, Bumrah and Pant worked together and got the upper hand on Marnus Labuschagne, But before the day’s play, Pant was questioned how it felt while keeping the wickets to Bumrah’s bowling, to which the keeper had a brilliant answer.
“Oh, man! It is pretty difficult because of the kind of angles he creates, sometimes you have to move to one side a bit quicker and when the edges come on the other side, you just have to manage. It is quite difficult but part of the job I would say,” Pant said while speaking on 7Cricket.
Justin Langer asked Rishabh Pant what it's like to keep to Jasprit Bumrah.
