Reacting to his remark that Rishabh Pant will be 'rapped on his knuckles' if the wicketkeeper repeats his mistakes, India head coach Ravi Shastri said, "If someone goofs up, I've to pull them up." "Am I there only to play tabla?" he added. Calling Pant "world class", Shastri added, "We will give him all the support he needs to prosper."
