Rishabh Pant has always been aggressive : Sachin Tendulkar

India suffered their first loss of the tournament against England but are in the running to qualify for the semi-finals. Pant came to bat at the No.4 position, added 52 runs for the third wicket.

"Rishabh went out and made a big statement. But also number of elements that one would have to look at, if there is an injury on the field then who comes and completes those overs (hinting at Vijay Shankar). What I saw of Rishabh, he's always been a dynamic player, always been aggressive. I call him a dynamite," Sachin Tendulkar said speaking about the player's performance.

Speaking about whether Pant should replace Vijay Shankar for the rest of the tournament, Tendulkar said the decision should be made by the team management.

"It would be unfair to stand here and pass judgements. What eventually the coach and captain feels in the dressing room, there are number of things that come into play. What I saw of Rishabh Pant I liked but I leave the decision to the team management. There wasn't any doubt at all about Pant's shot-making. We have seen that on a number of occasions in IPL and also when he played for India. He went at a situation when the asking rate was quite high. A player like Rishabh is only going to get better with time. The more he plays the more he will learn," Tendulkar said.
