Rishabh Pant: The Most Talked About Young Cricketer

Suddenly Rishabh Pant is the most talked about young cricketer in the land and why not? He has endeared himself to all being a confident youngster who knows his way about, as a perky wicket keeper whose incessant chatting may make the purist wince but is very much a part of today’s game. Most important his batting is refreshingly bold and vigorous. Even in the days of the T-20 game his brand of cricket stands out as he looks to get runs off every ball, either through a big hit or a quick single. Moreover he applies the same approach in Test cricket too as a strike rate of almost 74 will testify. Two centuries in cricket’s traditional format from nine matches underscores that he can play a big innings, only he doesn’t too long in compiling them. His game is of course tailor made for the shorter versions as his showing in 13 T-20s and three ODIs has confirmed.
