(AP Photo/Jon Super) Sachin Tendulkar Urges Team India to Shield Rishabh Pant , Explains the Method Behind His Unorthodox Shots Sachin Tendulkar has urged the Indian team management to leave swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant 'alone,' while also explaining the method behind the southpaw's often-debated shot selection. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'The sweep shot that he played—he likes to get under the ball to scoop it with some elevation,' Tendulkar said during a Reddit interaction. 'People think he has fallen, but it's intentional so that he can get under the ball. The secret to playing those shots is being able to get underneath the ball. Poll Should the Indian team management allow Rishabh Pant to play his natural game without interference? Yes, he knows best how to play. No, he needs guidance. "So it's a planned fall; he doesn't lose balance. All of it depends on the length of the ball. 'There have been occasions when people felt he didn't need to play that shot, or that it wasn't the right time—but someone like Rishabh should be left alone. How and why Rishabh Pant's England tour could come to an abrupt end due to toe fracture "When he's looking to save a match, though, he has to adopt a different approach—like in the last 15–20 overs of a game. But he's figured out how to approach an innings depending on the match situation,' Tendulkar added. Tendulkar had earlier hailed Pant's heroic fifty at Old Trafford, scored while batting with an injured foot on the second day of the fourth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Pant's courage was on full display when he hobbled out to bat on Day 2 of the Manchester Test, after suffering a blow to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot on the opening day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn 57+ Languages Easily with AI [Join] Talkpal AI Undo He received a rousing standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd as he limped to the crease following Shardul Thakur's dismissal for 41. Despite being in clear discomfort and struggling to complete singles, Pant fought through the pain to score a gritty 54, helping India reach a total of 358 before being dismissed. Sachin Tendulkar on Rishabh Pant Tendulkar praised the effort in a post on X: 'Resilience is about playing through pain and rising above it. @RishabhPant17 showed tremendous character by walking back into the game with an injury and delivering a performance like that. His fifty is a powerful reminder of the grit and determination it takes to represent your country. A brave effort, and one that will be remembered for a long time. Well played, Rishabh.

Sachin Tendulkar ends Ben Stokes' handshake controversy debate with a powerful statement: 'It Wasn't India's Problem'
Sachin Tendulkar has weighed in on Ben Stokes' handshake controversy debate, which emanated from the 4th India vs England Test, and settled it once and for all. read more The gripping series between India and England left enthusiasts thoroughly entertained and with a lot to reflect on. While every contest of the 2-2 drawn series was a masterpiece and ticked the column of thrills and spills, it also brought out the competitive nature of both teams. The same was testified during the closing minutes of the 4th Test in Manchester when the two sides came into odds with each other over the continuity of the match. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD With 15 overs left and a stalemate was inevitable, England captain Ben Stokes did not see any point to stay on the field anymore and offered a handshake to the Indian batters in the middle- Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. As both batsmen were in their 80s, they denied the handshake and kept playing until they got to their deserved hundreds. Sachin Tendulkar on the handshake controversy The matter sparked debates among the knowers of the game, and polarising opinions were formed. In due course, legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar has paid heed to the subject and has dropped the mic in front of those who sided with Stokes in the whole controversy. 'Washington scored a hundred, and Jadeja scored a hundred. Why is it not in the right spirit? They were playing for a draw. Before that, they battled it out when England were having a go at them, and negotiated it all to bat brilliantly,' began Tendulkar as he reviewed the series in a video posted on Reddit. 'The series was alive, so why should they go ahead (and shake hands) and give rest to England bowlers and fielders? If England wanted to hand the ball to Harry Brook, it was Ben Stokes' choice. It wasn't India's problem. To me, it was fine. They were playing for a draw, not their hundreds. If they had gotten out when they came to bat, we could've lost. When they came out to bat, Harry Brook wasn't bowling, was he? So, why should England's bowlers be fresh for the 5th Test? Do you have an answer for that? No!' said Tendulkar. Tendulkar further stated that he blindly trusts the team's approach, citing Washington Sundar's example when he played a blinder of a knock in the 5th Test, to state that the players know when exactly to ramp up and when to put the guard up. 'I am absolutely with the Indian team, be it Gambhir or Shubman or Jadeja or Washington, whoever decided. I'm 100 percent with them. In the last Test match, when it was time to accelerate, Sundar did that brilliantly, didn't he? Where it was needed to occupy the crease, he did that in the fourth Test. And when it was needed to press the accelerator hard, he did that in the fifth. So, well done,' said Tendulkar. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Sachin Tendulkar puts full stop to 'India win when Jasprit Bumrah doesn't play' narrative: ‘People are discussing…'
Batting great Sachin Tendulkar has come in support of Jasprit Bumrah, who has been facing scrutiny after India's 2-2 Test series draw against England. Due to workload management, Bumrah played just three Tests on the England tour, picking 14 wickets in the matches he played. The ICC number-1 ranked Test bowlers struggled to make a decisive impact in the series. Interestingly, India secured victories in both matches he was rested for, eventually managing a 2-2 draw in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Sachin Tendulkar praised Jasprit Bumrah for his performance in England.(PTI and Reuters Images) The premier pacer has been put under the scanner for picking and choosing matches on the crucial tour. His impact on the matches he played is also making things worse for him. Bumrah made a brilliant start to the series by taking a five-wicket haul in the first innings at Headingley. However, he couldn't make the same impact in the second innings and went wicketless as India tried—unsuccessfully—to defend a target of 371. At Lord's, Bumrah added his name to the honours board with another five-wicket haul in the first innings. But in the second innings, his influence waned, picking up just two wickets as India slipped to another defeat. Tendulkar also highlighted Bumrah's two five-wicket hauls in the series and dismissed the narrative that India lose whenever he plays, calling it nothing more than a coincidence. 'Bumrah started off really well, got five wickets in the (first innings of the) first Test. He did not play the second Test, but (played in) the third and the fourth. Again, in (one of) those two Tests, he got (a) five wickets (haul),' Tendulkar said in his video analysis of the series on 'Reddit'. 'Of three Test that he played, he picked up five wickets twice. I know that people are discussing a number of things, that we won those Tests in which he did not play. To me, that is just a coincidence," he added. 'Quality of Bumrah is exceptional' The batting great further heaped massive praise on Bumrah and said he has been the top performer for India over the years and shown consistency across the formats. "The quality of Bumrah is exceptional. What he has been able to do is just unbelievable so far. He has been a consistent performer without any doubt (and) I would put him right at the top with anyone else,' he added.
