New Zealand bowling coach Shane Jurgensen says that the team has to be very careful with India's wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant in the final match of the World Test Championship (WTC). The WTC final is scheduled to be played between India and New Zealand from June 18 in Southampton.
Jurgensen told The Telegraph, "Pant is a dangerous player who can turn the match on his own. We have seen how he performed against Australia and England. Pant is very positive minded." Pant had done well in the Test series against Australia and played an important role in India's victory. Pant has scored 515 runs in six Tests this year at an average of 64.37. Rishabh Pant also was the star of India's Test series win at home against England. He performed brilliantly in the ODI and T20Is as well, and his splendid run saw him getting the captaincy role for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League 2021.
Jurgensen said, "Our bowlers have to do well and with restraint, make sure that Pant is prevented from scoring runs. It is not easy to stop Pant and we have to keep this in mind." He said, "India's bowling attack is a challenge for us. They have many options in this department. We have to face the challenge from Jaspreet Bumrah to Shardul Thakur. After this there is Mohammad Siraj and his spinners. India has great Test bowlers. "
