Rishabh Pant has not been in the best of form. In the three match ODI series against New Zealand. He has been backed by the management amidst a dry spell of form. He has played three ODI matches against the Blackcaps and scored just 25 runs. He has had an average of 12.50 and a strike rate of 64.10.

A lot of people have been discussing Pant's form, one among them has been renowned cricket broadcaster Harsha Bhogle who had this to say about Pant, “I had asked the same question to Sehwag, now I'll ask you. Looking at you, we get the feeling that white-ball cricket is your USP but it's your Test record that is better,” Bhogle talked about it in the pre match show.

This irked Pant and this was his reply, “Sir, records are just numbers. My white-ball record is not bad either,” To this Bhogle said that his numbers across formats was good and that he was comparing red ball and white ball records to which Pant said, “Doing comparisons is not a part of my life. I'm 24-25, if you want to compare, you can do that when I am 30-32,” The fans did not take kindly to this curt reply by Pant.

In the 20-20 World Cup that just finished in Australia, he played only two matches, one against Zimbabwe and then in the semi-final against England. He scored just 9 runs in 2 innings. He has made them at an average of 4.50 and a strike rate of 100. He could not make it count in the semi-final. Dinesh Karthik being played ahead of him made matters worse.

His form across all three formats has been on the wane. Even in the Asia Cup 2022. He scored only 51 runs in four matches at an average of 25.50 and at a strike rate of 124.39.  Pant created a storm on twitter after he replied to Bhogle. Twitter was abuzz, let us take a look at the reactions here-
