India vs West Indies T20Is: Rishabh Pant opens up on his match winning knock

After two low scores all eyes were on Rishabh Pant to deliver the goods. He excelled under pressure as he made a brilliant 65 off 42 balls while chasing a tricky target on a slow wicket. Pant stitched together a 106 run partnership with skipper Virat Kohli as India cruised home to a 7 wicket victory with five balls to spare. This win enabled India to whitewash the T20I series 3-0 at Guyana on Tuesday. On coming back to form, Pant feels that the support and guidance from his senior teammates acts as a confidence booster.

Speaking to Rohit Sharma on BCCI.tv Pant said, "I felt nice about my innings. I was not able to score runs and was getting frustrated. But, I kept following my process and it fetched the desired results today. There are various times that I get frustrated when I don't get the runs. Then I think about what different things I could have done to perform. There are times when I take the right decision and even then I am not able to perform. It happens in cricket and is part and parcel of the game. But what I try to do always is to focus on my basics, trust my instincts and just follow the process."

When asked about his partnership with skipper Virat Kohli he said, "When I and Virat bhaiya were playing, we were thinking of stitching together a big partnership and take the game deep and then accelerate in the last seven-eight overs."

Pant also said that he doesn’t get pressurized by the expectations. "I do feel the pressure at times, sometimes I enjoy. But the entire team, especially the senior members, have faith in me and that is a huge confidence booster. You know that even if you fail in one or two innings the team will back you."

Team India will play the first match of the three match ODI series at the Providence Stadium, Guyana on Thursday.
