Guwahati, Nov 21 (PTI) The flamboyant Rishabh Pant on Friday admitted that leading in a one-off Test is not the “best scenario" but he is not thinking too much about the challenge that awaits India in the form of a well-knit South Africa in the second Test here.

Pant was handed captaincy after injured regular captain Shubman Gill was released from the squad ahead of the match starting here from Saturday.

“One-off match is not best scenario for a captain but I am thankful to BCCI for giving me this honour. Sometimes, if you think too much about a big occasion, it doesn’t help," Pant said at the pre-match press conference.

“(I) don’t want to over-think. We had a tough first Test and we need to do whatever is required to win the Test," he added.
