Rishabh Pant is facing a backlash for his bold and unwise shot-selection at a crucial juncture during India's stiff run-chase in the Boxing Day Test against Australia on Monday, which triggered a batting collapse that led to a defeat when the visitors at one stage seemed to be taking the match towards a draw.
