KKR lost today due to an insignificant mischief from Rishabh Pant. KKR was loudly until the pretension of injury by pant lying on the ground. Then the strikers lost the position. Once, Rohit Sharma said that the same tactics had been adopted by Pant against a foreign country.

Speaking of his medical dead time during the T20 World Cup final, the pants made an interesting admission. “I actually think what to do because the momentum had suddenly changed (in favor of South Africa), they had marked many races in 2-3 overs, so I thought when this moment will come when we go the final of the World Cup,” he told Star Sports.

“I asked the physio to take time. When Rohit Bhai asked if my knee was fine, I said:” Bhaiya, the acting mast Kar Raha Tha “(I was acting all this time). Sometimes you have to do this type of thing in the matches. I don’t say it every time, but it sometimes works and it works.”
