The stimulator of England Mark Wood highlighted the challenge of the bowling against the Rishabh pants of India, admitting that the intrepid style of the left -hander leaves the quisors with little space for the error. Pant, known for its unpredictability and bold strike, has built a reputation for shooting the matches with its ability to attack even the best of the quantities. Wood, who faced him in the past, said patience and control are the key to finding success against him. “I think you have to hold your nerve. This is essentially what I would say, because I think you have to be so unpredictable that he plays in his hands. He can just stay there and wait for something difficult. But if you are the same all the time, then he has a good eye, he can somehow knock him. Could change with a very high bouncer, or something slightly different, “said Wood. The 35 -year -old man, who has been sidelined for six months with a knee injury suffered in the champions trophy, has not played a test for more than a year but remains at the heart of the plans of ashes in England later this year. While discussing difficult adversaries, Wood also named Rohit Sharma as the hardest shot on which he overturned. “Rohit Sharma was difficult because against the short balloon, you feel like you, for me, I have a chance to take it out, but also if it is that day, it smokes it. So, it was difficult. I had the impression that its bat was great, it kept expanding,” he said.

On Virat Kohli, Wood pointed out: “Kohli, of course, an incredible competitor. He seemed to have this weakness of the fourth, fifth stump. He never seemed to be missing when I played him there,” he added laughing. Rohit and Kohli announced their test pensions earlier this year, shortly before India’s England tour.
