Former player Saba Karim has praised Rishabh Pant’s batting in both the innings in the third and final Test match between Team India and New Zealand played in Mumbai. According to Saba Karim, Rishabh Pant batted aggressively and even made the rank turner an ordinary pitch.

Let us tell you that in the first innings of Team India’s Mumbai Test, Rishabh Pant scored 60 runs in 59 balls while in the second innings he scored 64 runs. In both these innings, Rishabh Pant did not spare any New Zealand bowler and continuously hit hard against all of them. However, Rishabh Pant failed to lead his team to victory and New Zealand won the match by 25 runs.

During a conversation at Colors Cineplex, Saba Karim said, ‘Rishabh Pant batted brilliantly in both the innings. No matter how much we praise him, words always fall short. On such a pitch, Rishabh Pant was moving forward and playing shots. Always see very little in Indian conditions and on Indian wickets.

It seemed as if Rishabh Pant had completely obliterated the length at which Glenn Phillips and Ajaz Patel were bowling. Only he did this in this entire test match. On a rank turner pitch, it seemed as if Rishabh Pant was batting on an ordinary wicket.

Former player praised Rishabh Pant fiercely

Saba Karim further said, ‘We saw the same in the first innings and the same was seen in the second innings also. If you completely eliminate the incoming challenge, things become much easier. Parthiv Patel had said that Rishabh Pant puts pressure on the bowlers due to which they get to play easy balls. This is very easy to say but very difficult to do.

Rishabh Pant is always full of confidence. Even if the pitch proves helpful for the bowlers, Rishabh Pant is always seen batting brilliantly. He is really a special player.
