The young Indian wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant’s last outing in an ODI series came against the Windies but it wasn’t a fruitful one for him. Now, like the other Indian players, he will be looking forward to making maximum use of the opportunities in the upcoming series vs Australia. With Dinesh Karthik being dropped for the ODIs, the youngster seems to have a decent chance to be qualified for the World Cup which is going to take place later this year in England and Wales.

Speaking on his game to ESPNcricinfo, Pant said, “I just focus on my processes. I don’t see whether I am doing well or badly. Because results obviously matter, but at the end of the day, your processes are important. Whatever processes have brought me here, I need to focus on that.”

Ever since his international debut, Rishabh has been looked as the x-factor who could make the difference in the unstable middle-order of India. But in order to seal his place, Pant needs to put some value for his wicket by reducing the rash shots he plays in crunch situations.

Addressing those issues Pant said, “Formats make all the difference. If you are playing days cricket and get out trying to hit a six, everybody knows and says it is irresponsible. But when it comes off, nobody says anything. The percentage is what matters. If you are getting out in ten matches but are getting the results in nine of them, that is important. If my percentage of results is high, I only focus on my process. ”

He further elaborated, “And if something is working for me, it might not work for someone else. Similarly, if something is working for someone else, it might not always help me. It feels like all my life I have played only cricket. By now, at least this much I know: how to play in that situation. Sometimes you have to curb your instincts, that is also important. At the end of the day, you have to score runs. Can’t play just to survive.”
