“I am glad that I have learnt from my mistakes and I capitalised on whatever opportunity I got after that. I am happy,” Pant told bcci.tv on Saturday. Pant said that he is trying to learn from everyone in the leadership group in order to become a better player. “I talk to Rohit [Sharma] bhai a lot—about the game as what we have done in previous matches and what we could have done. Also, what we should look to do and look at possible outcomes in future games and what all I can add to my game. I also take technical inputs from Virat [Kohli] bhai. Especially playing in England, standing up to stumps or going back,” he said.
Pant wants to pick everyone’s brains to become better. “I speak to Ravi [Shastri] bhai a lot as he has played enough cricket all over the world. Ash [R Ashwin] bhai, when he bowls, he has an idea what the batsman’s intentions are. So as a batsman, I can ask the bowler as to what he is thinking. As a player, I want to learn from each and every person.”
