"Rishabh Pant Needs To Understand...": Rohit Sharma's Blunt Message After MCG Test Defeat

Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma said that Rishabh Pant needs to understand what is required from himself after their side's crushing defeat against Australia in the fourth Test encounter in Melbourne on Monday.

However, he was dismissed after playing a rash shot and that opened the floodgates as the visitors kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Rohit said that Pant needs to assess the risk percentage and play accordingly.
