Pant & Raina hit the nets in bid to get back in the groove

TIL Desk Sports/ India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and veteran batsman Suresh Raina hit the nets on Monday in their bid to stay in the groove amid the COVID-19 pandemic which has pushed competitive cricket in the country to the backwaters.

Raina posted a video on Instagram where he is seen knocking the ball around along with Pant. “Let”s start the day @rishabpant,” 2011 ODI World Cup winner Raina said in the post and in another post added: “Work hard, Never Give Up & Get rewarded.”

White-ball specialist Raina, 33, last played for India in 2018 in England and has since then not found a place in the team. Pant, meanwhile, is set to take over from M.S. Dhoni as India”s first choice stumper across formats after the legendary former captain calls it a day from international cricket.
