"This is definitely not a future Indian captain"- Furious fans slam 'arrogant' Rishabh Pant for his comments before IND vs NZ 3rd ODI

Rishabh Pant believes that he is too young to be judged as a batter across formats. He has been sensational for Team India in red-ball cricket but hasn't been able to achieve similar consistency in ODIs and T20Is.In an interview ahead of the third ODI against New Zealand in Christchurch, Pant was asked about his numbers in white-ball cricket compared to that in red-ball cricket. However, the 25-year-old claimed that his numbers across formats should be compared only once he crosses the age of 30.Here's what he said:&quot;My white ball record isn't bad. Comparing (records in different formats) isn't a part of my life. I am just 25 years old. If you want to compare then compare when I am 30-32 years old. Before that, there is no logic in it for me.&quot;This hasn't gone down well with most fans as they felt it was pretty 'arrogant' from Pant to answer in that tone. Here are some of the reactions:Shivani@meme_ki_diwaniBruh control the arrogance 4140606Bruh control the arrogance 😳💀 https://t.co/HS0xLCmz3iArun Lol@dhaikilokatweetattitude toh aise de raha hai jaise lapodinagar ka MLA ho901160attitude toh aise de raha hai jaise lapodinagar ka MLA ho https://t.co/wKYPf6OwmEPrajin🇵🇹🇧🇪@wcriccrazeprajnShould back him till 35 years irrespective of form.

However, that wasn't to be as he was dismissed for just 10 runs off 16 balls. Pant did hit a couple of boundaries but looked out of sorts for most of his innings.The southpaw miscued a half-tracker from Daryl Mitchell into the hands of Glenn Phillips at square leg. With the competition for middle-order spots getting tighter by the minute, Pant will need to pull up his socks and deliver as soon as he can.India XI: Shikhar Dhawan (c), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Deepak Chahar, Umran Malik, Arshdeep Singh, Yuzvendra Chahal.New Zealand XI: Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Kane Williamson (c), Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (wk), Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Matt Henry, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson.
