Rishabh Pant opens up on ’fake injury’ during T20 World Cup final after Rohit Sharma’s revelations

Rishabh Pant: Pant now acknowledged that his actions were motivated by a desire to put an end to Klaasen's bat's destruction. Pant's injury ruse, which briefly stopped the game, was crucial in stopping South Africa's momentum, according to Rohit. He acknowledged Pant's intelligence even though he did not give that particular moment full credit for India's championship victory. Pant responds to the T20 World Cup final "fake injury" event "I actually thinking what to do because the momentum had suddenly shifted (in South Africa's favour), they had scored plenty of runs in 2-3 overs, so I was thinking when will that moment come when we will the World Cup final," Pant remarked on the Star Sports program.

As Pant was telling the tale, a video of the incident flickered on the enormous screen. According to the 25-year-old, he asked the physiotherapist to take his time. Pant told Captain Rohit that he was simply acting when he asked whether his knee was okay. "I requested that the physio take some time. I responded, "Bhaiya, mast acting kar raha tha," (I was acting all this while), when Rohit bhai enquired how my knee was doing. These kinds of tasks are occasionally necessary in matches.
