Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has raised questions regarding Rishabh Pant's aspirations to move up to the top of the batting order for Lucknow Super Giants.

In their IPL opener, Pant was run out early, and Pietersen thinks his push to the top three might hinder his enjoyment of the game.
