While former coach Rahul Dravid was effusive in his praise of Pant, current boss Gautam Gambhir, too, had a lot of good things to say about the dynamite that he possesses in his arsenal. “He’s got runs everywhere around the world, and not many wicket-keepers of that age have done it so consistently in red-ball cricket. It is always good to have someone like him who can open the game for us, and more importantly, can bring a lot of impact as well,” Gambhir had said before the Test.
As we keep discussing about Pant the batter, sometimes we forget how well he has kept on Indian pitches as well. In this Test too, he has looked in top shape and his glovework has been on point. “Probably his batting overshadows his ‘keeping many times. It’s not easy to keep against the likes of Ashwin, Jadeja and Kuldeep on Indian conditions and what he has done behind the stumps has been remarkable as well,” Gambhir said.
For Pant, things can only get better from here and we all believe the best is yet to come.
