DTVHINDIPant is the best wicketkeeper batsman in Test cricket, his best is yet to come – Mohammad Kaif
Rishabh Pant (Pic Source-X) Team India has made a great start in the Test series against Bangladesh. India played great cricket at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on 19 September and after four days of play, the team managed to register a victory of 280 runs. After this victory, Team India managed to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Pant scored a century in the second innings of the first Test match, while he also made an important contribution in the first innings. The last Test match of the two-match series is to be played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur from September 27. Rishabh Pant also played his last Test series against Bangladesh. Team India went on a tour of Bangladesh in late 2022. After returning from there, Pant’s car had a terrible accident while going to his home. Former Team India cricketer Mohammad Kaif believes that Pant is not in his prime form yet, yet he is the biggest match winner of Team India. Mohammad Kaif gave a big statement in praise of Rishabh Pant In an interview to Times of India, Kaif said, ‘When the England team came to India, Rishabh Pant was not in the team. Pant, who comes to bat at number five or six, is the biggest match winner for Team India at this position. He has played many match-winning innings. No one can forget his innings at Gabba. He has scored centuries in difficult conditions in South Africa and England.’ Kaif further said, ‘Talking about stats, I think Pant is the best wicketkeeper batsman for Test cricket. No one in the Indian think tank thinks about anyone other than Rishabh Pant. His best is yet to come. When he turns 27, his batting will improve further and then he will hit his prime form. Rishabh Pant’s best is yet to come, especially in Test cricket.’ It is worth noting that Pant has also equaled former India captain MS Dhoni’s record for scoring the most Test centuries for India as a wicketkeeper, with both players having six centuries to their name. Pant achieved this feat in 34 Test matches, scoring 2419 runs so far, while Dhoni, who played 90 Tests in his entire career, scored 4876 runs and scored six centuries.

“We are not wrongly giving him the status of ‘Prince’”- Why did Aakash Chopra give such a statement about Gill
Team India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is in great form these days. He recently scored a brilliant century in the second innings of the Test match played against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Gill was greatly applauded after that innings. Meanwhile, now former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has made a big statement on Shubman Gill. Aakash Chopra believes that Shubman Gill has proved the ‘Prince’ tag right. Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra defended Gill, citing the number of centuries he has scored in international cricket since the start of 2020, which is actually more than the centuries scored by players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Aakash Chopra made a big statement in praise of Shubman Gill The former Indian cricketer further said, “Who has scored the most centuries for Team India this decade? This is very interesting. There was a tweet from CricCrazyJohns, and we said that we never realized this. He wrote about the most centuries for India in this decade in international cricket, “Shubman Gill has scored 12 centuries in 114 innings, it is absolutely phenomenal.” Chopra further added that the “Prince” nickname attached to Gill was not at all unfair, as he provided the exact stats of Rohit and Kohli in comparison to Gill. The former batsman further added that, “Rohit Sharma has played 148 innings in the same time frame and scored 10 centuries. Virat Kohli has played 149 innings and scored 10 centuries and both of them are our GOAT. So Shubman Gill is going way ahead with 12 centuries. We are not giving him the status of ‘Prince’ unfairly.” Chopra further said that according to him, Gill has come to Team India to set some big records because it seems like success has been added to his bloodstream. Chopra said, “It is in his DNA. I am saying that this guy is running towards greatness because he feels, in fact he is confident. If he tries to do something in his mind, greatness comes out. This is a very good story for Indian cricket.”
