Rishabh Pant is one of the best wicket-keeper batters in the world right now. The left-handed batter has made a name for himself with his marvelous batting performances, especially in the longest format of the game.
Although he is an aggressive batter and his game is more suited to white-ball formats, Pant has excelled in Test cricket and won matches for the Indian cricket team.
Although the batters tend to be more defensive in Test cricket, Rishabh Pant prefers playing aggressive strokes and destroying the opposition bowlers. Pant has made an impact in Test cricket, and some cricket fans feel that even the Pakistan cricket team needs someone like him in their middle-order.
Currently, the Pakistan cricket team is playing the final match of their ICC World Test Championship series against the Australian cricket team. The approach of the Pakistan team has been defensive in this series, and they have played out draws with Australia in this series. It is the series decider in Lahore right now, where Pakistan lost seven wickets for 20 runs.
Fans on Twitter feel Pakistan needs someone like Rishabh Pant after the Babar Azam-led outfit scored 268 runs in 116.4 overs
Although they are playing at home, Pakistan managed only 268 runs in 116.4 overs in their first innings of the Lahore Test match against the Australian cricket team. The home side faced 700 deliveries for 268 runs. They were 248/3 at one stage before Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc wreaked havoc to bowl them out for just 268 runs.
Here are some of the top Twitter reactions to Pakistan’s performance:
I wish Pakistan had someone like Rishabh Pant in the middle order who averages 40 at a strike rate of 70. Sick of this defensive draw first approach😒 #PAKvAUS

It is in situations like these that we can see how lucky India has been to have someone like Rishabh Pant. His counter attacks in similar situations have pushed opposition on back foot number of times. Pakistan misses that aggressive batter who can change the game. #PAKvAUS

Mitchell Starc will end up retiring as an all-time great and we’ll wonder how we ever doubted him.
