‘Zarurat Padegi Toh Bulaenge’ Jadeja Shares 4-YO Chat With Poised Rishabh Pant After Failure

The man of the hour, Rishabh Pant played the greatest cricket of his international career against Australia at the Brisbane Cricket Ground when he sculpted an unbeaten 89-run innings to lead a battered and bruised Indian cricket team to a 2-1 Test series win on foreign soil.

Facing rejection, injuries and a ton of criticism because of his inability to be an effective wicket-keeper for the Men in Blue in the first few Tests, Pant somehow managed to keep his morale high and play the game the only way he knows - with aggression.

Baffled by the self-confidence with which the 23-year-old carried the rest of the squad, Indian commentator Ajay Jadeja shared an interesting story with the viewers of Sony Sports Network about a conversation he had with Pant over four years ago.

“I think that's the experience I have had with him. Every time there are questions on how he plays and I completely agree with that. He takes risks even in Test match cricket. It was that day in Delhi, he wasn't picked in the side,” Jadeja said on the show.

“I happened to be around him and asked him ‘Why don't you come to nets tomorrow. You can practice even if you are not picked in the squad’. He said, ‘Paaji jab zarurat padegi ye ghar se bulaenge (They will call me from my home when they will need me). That has stayed on with me. That was almost 4 years ago, that was before he got picked up for Delhi. In a Ranji Trophy game someone else was picked ahead of him,” Ajay Jadeja added.

“That's the mindset these young kids have today. They believe if they are good, there is nobody in the world to stop them. They don't want to play, everybody else wants them to play, they don't play to please people around them. They play how they wish to play. Pleasing others who are writing, talking about cricket, these kids don't think about it. They just believe in themselves, they put out their beliefs on one simple thing, 'I Know what is best for me'. I just love the way this Indian team plays,” Jadjeja concluded.
