Rishabh Pant made his international debut for the Indian cricket team in 2017. In the last five years, he has become one of the top wicket-keeper batters in the world. Many cricket experts have remarked that he will go down as one of the best players of all time. The latest to join the list of experts is Dinesh Karthik.
The Indian wicket-keeper, who has not yet retired, selflessly commented that Rishabh and MS Dhoni will stand out as two of the greatest wicket-keepers in Indian cricket history. Speaking to Cricbuzz after Rishabh shattered Kapil Dev’s record for the fastest Test half-century by an Indian player, Dinesh made a bold prediction about the youngster’s future.
Here’s what Dinesh had to say about Pant:
“Rishabh Pant is on his way to greatness. If he has a full-fledged wicketkeeping career for India, he will end up being one of the greats along with MS Dhoni. These two will stand out as India’s greatest wicketkeepers who have played the game.”
Rishabh scored 50 runs in his last knock against the Sri Lankan team. He came out to bat when the score was 139/4 after 35.4 overs. When he got out, the team’s score was 184/5 after 42 overs. Fans should note that it is a pink-ball Test match and not a limited-overs game.
Rishabh Pant smashed seven fours and two sixes in his entertaining knock
Fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium enjoyed the pure entertainment from Rishabh Pant. The youngster hit seven boundaries and two maximums in his 31-ball 50. After his departure, Shreyas Iyer completed his second half-ton in the match.
Sri Lanka have received a 447-run target to win the pink-ball match against India. The islanders lost all their wickets for 109 runs in the first innings. They are 28/1 at the moment in the second innings. It will be interesting to see if the Sri Lankan side can give their veteran player Suranga Lakmal a memorable farewell with a historic victory against India.
