Since then Gautam Gambhir has taken over as head coach. Many batsmen have been seen bowling. A scene of this was seen during a trip to Sri Lanka. Now Rishabh Pant’s name has been included in this list. Pant, who shone with wicketkeeping and batting in the Chennai Test, is now seen practicing bowling. In fact, the Indian team arrived for a net session ahead of the second Test to be held in Kanpur. Meanwhile, Pant made Shubman Gill practice leg spin. In such a situation, fans are starting to ask whether Pant will bowl now?
Pant will bowl in Kanpur?
Kanpur’s pitch helps the spin bowlers. In such a situation, the Indian team will definitely opt for spin bowling. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are already playing as the main spinners in the team. Shubman Gill can bowl off-spin if needed and Yashaswi Jaiswal can bowl leg-spin. In such a situation, there is little hope of Pant bowling in Kanpur. According to the report, Pant and Gill were the last to practice in the first training session. Only then this sight was seen.
What happened in the first training session?
The first practice session of the Kanpur Test was held on September 25. The Indian team reached at 12 noon. Earlier, Yashaswi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfraz Khan came for practice. While captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli arrived a little late for practice. Both spent very little time on the net. Kohli knocked a few times and then he left. When he returned, he batted for a long time. Meanwhile, Akshar Patel also bowled him. He was also seen struggling off Ashwin and Bumrah.

On the other hand, Jaiswal sweated the most in the nets. Rohit Sharma spent a lot of time with him and also gave some tips to Jaiswal during practice. Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant came last for practice. Fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and head coach Gautam Gambhir were seen in the pictures that emerged from the Kanpur ground. The atmosphere in the Indian camp seemed quite relaxed and pleasant. Jadeja and Virat were seen having a lot of fun with each other.
