Shoaib Akhtar Wants Rishabh Pant To Lose Weight
“Rishabh Pant is an unafraid cricketer. He possesses the cut shot, the pull shot, the reverse sweep, the slog sweep, and the paddle sweep. He won the (Test) match in Australia, he won the match here (in England), and he single-handedly led India to a series victory “Akhtar stated this in a video posted to his YouTube channel.
Akhtar, on the other hand, has urged Pant to work on his fitness and lose weight. He believes the 24-year-old has the potential to become a model and earn millions of dollars.
“He’s a little chubby. I’m hoping he takes care of it. Because the Indian market is enormous. He’s attractive. He has the potential to become a model and earn millions of dollars. Because when someone becomes a superstar in India, a lot of money is invested in them “said Pakistan’s legendary pacer.
After England won the rescheduled fifth Test to tie the five-match series 2-2, India won the T20I and ODI series by a 2-1 margin.
India will now face the West Indies in three one-day internationals (ODIs) and five Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) beginning on July 27.
