NEW DELHI: Mind games in cricket are a crucial psychological aspect of the sport, where players and teams try to unsettle their opponents, gain a mental edge, and influence their decision-making or performance. While cricket is a physical game, the mental battles on the field can often determine the outcome of key moments in matches.
India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is well-known for using mind games on the cricket field. His approach is often playful and energetic, using banter and tactical awareness to unsettle opponents and create pressure.
