NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant was disappointed after not being chosen in the initial Indian squad for the 2019 World Cup, according to former India batsman and Delhi Capitals assistant coach Mohammad Kaif.
Kaif said that no one in the coaching staff had any doubts about Pant’s potential. “His name was not there, and he felt quite low. He is quite an emotional person. He started feeling bad immediately afterwards that he was not selected,” Kaif said on former India opener Aakash Chopra‘s Youtube show, “Aakash Vani”.
“We picked up on those things. So, we spoke to him a lot. We told him ? ‘you are quite young, at the age of 20-21 a player just starts his career. You have already made a name for yourself. You have already won matches for your team’.
“None of us ever had any doubt that he will not be a big player, or he will not perform. We have always maintained that ‘you are a good player, you will get your chance. Just keep doing what you are doing, keep winning matches like you have been doing every year’. We spoke to him on his mental thoughts,” Kaif said.
“But he is a class player, there is no doubt on this. You don’t get such players. If he is used correctly, then he can be an asset. He is quite young as well, when he plays for two-three years more, he will become an even better player,” the former India batsman added.
India were later forced to call up Pant after injuries to Shikhar Dhawan and Vijay Shankar during the World Cup. They were eventually knocked out of the event after a defeat to New Zealand in the semi-final.

Shamima Begum is pictured wearing jeans, shirt and a blue hat as she walks through refugee camp

Jihadi bride Shamima Begum faces being arrested on terror charges when she returns to the UK as she is pictured wearing jeans, a shirt and a blue hat while walking through a Syrian refugee camp after winning a bombshell High Court victory.  Begum, who left to join IS five years ago when she was 15, had been stripped of her British citizenship after she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year, and was previously pictured wearing a black burka. But yesterday she won a legal challenge after judges ruled she had not been granted a ‘fair and effective’ appeal. They said she should be allowed to return for a fresh hearing in a bid to overturn the Home Office’s decision.   When she does return to the UK, Begum is likely to be arrested and questioned before being charged with terror-related offences, as reported by The Daily Mirror. Yesterday, Downing Street said it was ‘bitterly disappointed’ by the ruling and Sajid Javid, the fo...

Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Barack Obama all have their Twitter accounts HACKED

Image
High-profile Twitter accounts including Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Uber and Apple have been hacked in an internal breach that is believed to be one of the largest social media attacks ever. Hackers claimed to have paid one or more Twitter staff for access to internal systems which allowed them to hijack the accounts and post tweets asking users to send them Bitcoin. Around 300 people were duped by the tweets, sending $1118,000 to the hackers before Twitter took the tweets down and then locked all verified accounts to stop the breach spreading further. In total, the attack lasted for four hours. Security experts said it is ‘extremely lucky’ that the hackers only appeared interested in Bitcoin, and warned the accounts of powerful politicians could easily have been used to ‘sow mass chaos all over the world’.  Many of the hacked accounts belonged to prominent Democrats, with Donald Trump and other high-profile Republicans seemingly unaffected – though the ext...

Trump’s outrageous refusal to lead is making the pandemic worse

Image
Trump’s refusal to use his full powers of his office and the government to confront the worst domestic threat since World War II is looking more negligent, callous and politically self-defeating with each virus ravaged day that passes. This week, as states such as Florida, Texas and Arizona have set records for coronavirus infections and intensive care units and morgues have filled up, has exposed the willful blindness of a White House that seems bio-sealed from the reality of the pandemic. “We believe this President has great approval in this country. His historic Covid response speaks for itself,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Thursday, encapsulating the bizarre parallel universe of an administration that thinks one of the most disastrous government failures of the modern age is a roaring political success. McEnany on Thursday praised US testing and the push for vaccines and therapeutics — which have as much to do with the innovation of the US pharmaceutical i...
