Pant 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.
“Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere, he will remain in DC”- Shocking claim by former Indian cricketer
Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: BCCI/IPL) Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra has given a big statement that Rishabh Pant will be seen playing for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season and he is not going to any other franchise. In fact, for the last few months, such news was coming out on social media, in which it was being told that Rishabh Pant may be seen playing for some other franchise except Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season. Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).” However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.” Rishabh Pant will remain in Delhi Capitals: Aakash Chopra Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it. He further added that, “Recently as soon as Rishabh scored a century, handles of various franchises wished him, out of which we prominently displayed the Punjab handle on JioCinema. Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years. However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.

Aakash Chopra feels Rishabh Pant can become India’s greatest Test batsman, read the big news
Pant has made a great comeback in Test cricket Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Indian cricket team cricketer Aakash Chopra has recently made a big statement about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Chopra has expressed doubt on whether Pant can be considered India’s greatest Test batsman or not? It is worth noting that after the terrible car accident in the year 2022, Pant has recently returned to red ball cricket in the first Test match against Bangladesh in Chennai. On his return to Test cricket, Pant appeared in his old familiar style and proved his usefulness by scoring a century. Pant has scored 6 centuries in 34 Test matches played so far, which is equal to Dhoni’s 6 centuries scored in 90 Test matches. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently Akash Chopra said on Colors Cineplex- whether Pant is India’s greatest Test batsman or not, if MS Dhoni’s name is in that list then it will be questionable. However, if you look at the performance done in SENA countries, then Pant is the only wicketkeeper to score a century in South Africa, England and Australia. Chopra further said- He (Rishabh Pant) has already scored six centuries in Test cricket. For this he has played only 58 innings, even though he is not India’s greatest Test batsman right now, he can definitely end his career as the greatest player. On the other hand, if we talk about Pant, he is currently in action in the ongoing Test series against Bangladesh. After performing brilliantly at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Pant will now be eyeing a better performance in the second Test match starting in Kanpur from September 27.

Recently, he has answered some questions related to Team India in a special interview given to CricTracker. Let’s watch his exclusive interview- Video: Pragyan Ojha Exclusive Interview With CricTracker Q: As a spinner, do you think we might see another offspinner like Ravichandran Ashwin in Test cricket? Answer: If we talk about Test cricket, I think we have to find bowlers for red ball cricket from domestic cricket. We have to see which bowlers are bowling 50, 60, 70 overs with red ball in domestic cricket. Because not only the final figures matter, the control of your bowling is also very important. Q: How many off-spinners are there in domestic cricket that one can name? Answer: If you see, there are very few off-spinners. You may find a few names like Washington Sundar, but we need to build a strong bench strength. Whenever a big player retires or will retire, you should have 3 or 4 options. If there are only 1 or 2 options, there can be problems. Q: What is your opinion about BCCI’s decision that senior players should play domestic cricket if they are not playing international cricket? Answer: I think this is a very good decision. This gives a lot of inspiration to young players. This will make many young players more eager to play domestic cricket. Rishabh Pant can become the captain of all three formats of Team India: Pragyan Ojha Q: According to you, that one name who can become the captain of India in all three formats? Answer: Rishabh Pant is a very interesting option. Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are also good players, but for me Rishabh Pant is a very special player. Q: What was the most memorable moment of your career that you will never forget? Answer: When I got the Test cap from Sachin paaji, that was my most memorable moment. Firstly, you are entering Test cricket, and secondly, you are getting that cap from a player who has represented India for decades. Question: How long will Dhoni be seen playing in the IPL? Answer: He (MS Dhoni) can play as long as he wants to. In franchise cricket, the owners and senior players talk to each other. If a player is fit and wants to play, he can play, because his presence will be very helpful for the team.

Mohammad Kaif praised Team India’s fielding coach T. Dilip and stressed that because of him the level of fielding in the team has increased. He also described Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant as the best fielders of the Indian team. Exclusive interview of Mohammad Kaif with CricTracker- First question: How was the match? Answer: I think the way Morne van Wyk played was amazing to watch. It was a tough pitch, day match. He kept wicket for the first 20 overs, then opened the innings and finished the match. So, so far in this LLC I have not seen such a great innings. Second question: What changes have you seen in the fielding of the team after T. Dilip came to India? Answer: They are doing a very good job. They have a big role. Suryakumar Yadav took a catch in the T20 World Cup, which was the turning point. So they have done a very good job and the level of fielding has gone up. The Indian team has performed well. Third question: According to you, who are the top-2 fielders of India? Answer: India is the world champion, Ravindra Jadeja is among the top-2 fielders of India. Jadeja has become an even better fielder with age. People say that with age you become slow, but Jadeja is a perfect example that if you focus on fitness, your performance improves, his fielding has improved. The second name I will take is Rishabh Pant, as a wicketkeeper, I have never seen Rishabh Pant drop a catch.
