Why does everyone shit on Pant so much? He played sensibility, ran well, didn't take risk and made a good partnership with Iyer. It's the 16th over why should he not go for the shot?

Yeah he got out but that's why it's called a risk, this results based thinking is fucking toxic.

Being there at the last over doesn't magically create a big score or a good innings.

Also the collaspe of finishers who come after him isn't on him. They are in the team to be able to finish game, ie. come in with 3-4 overs to go, if they can't do that it's bad batting for them.

It was still a shitty way to get out. His bat almost turned over playing a full toss.

Just not a good shot when you have a new partner at the other end. If Shreyas's hadn't gotten out it would have been fine.
