India captain Rohit Sharma on Monday said Rishabh Pant “needs to understand what is required of him” after the wicketkeeper’s dismissal off a half-tracker led to a batting collapse and a 184-run drubbing by Australia in the fourth Test here.

Pant’s ill-timed lap shot in the first innings and mindless slog in the second essay came at crucial junctures and handed Australia the upper hand.
