It hasn’t been long since Pant made his foray but the starlet has already earned his place in the list of the most fearless batsman ahead of the World Test Championship final
After introducing himself as a brutal batsman in IPL, and doing wonders on the international stage, Pant saw his career nosedive shambolically. His lackluster attitude on the pitch paired with fitness issues saw the wicket-keeper based out of Delhi lose his place in the Indian setup.
From being first Indian wicketkeeper to score a test century on Australian soil to being rendered obsolete, Pant knew things needed to change and change fast for him. And he came roaring back in 2020, showcasing the same precarious skill set which had seen him set the stage alight.
Rishabh Pant’s Affinity For Test Cricket
Although more inclined towards white ball cricket, Pant has gone onto prove his mettle in the longest format of the game. He has 3 centuries in test cricket and all are away from the home.
Its down to the immense confidence he is endowed with with the batsman showing the stomach for a fight be it while batting, wicketkeeping or sledging.
World Test Championship: Rishabh Pant Capable Of Emulating Australian Heroics
After losing the first test match in Australia, India were on the back foot. It was then that this young man started playing his natural game and lead India to victory in the 3rd and 4th test.
After the heroic innings at the Sydney test, he was the main man at the Gabba test as well and gave the finishing touch to the Indian victory to become the talk of the town as India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by a 2-1 winning margin.
The Indian Cricket team and Indian Fans need this player to back in action once again and help India lift the first ever WTC trophy. With the English conditions set to ruffle the Indian batsmen, Pant’s ability to counter and send the ball to the fence could end up swinging the tie in his side’s favour.
