Currently, Rishabh Pant has been displaying flashes of what he is capable of as a hard-hitting batsman and an excellent wicketkeeper. However, for coming fully into his own best, there is still plenty to expect according to former India fast bowler Irfan Pathan.
A Promising Start
Pant, however, came into international cricket at the dip, but his recent performances are good signs. He has proved himself as a consistent player of the limited-over’s format of the cricket and his strength to chase the targets in the end has paid some valuable wins for the Indian team. As the T20 World Cup is scheduled in a month, Pant is expected to have a greater role in the Indian squad.
The Path to Glory
In an interview with one of the leading cricket sites, Irfan Pathan had this to say about Pant,
“Rishabh Pant indeed has every quality in him that makes a cricketer world class; he got talent, he has skills, and he is confident. He has already hinted what is capable of in international cricket and certainly he has a lot more to offer.” Speaking further, Pathan said, “He needs little to mould.
What Lies Ahead
Being as excited as any Indian player for the T20 World Cup 2024, Pant will be keen to make a mark. This is so because he has a strong cast behind him in national players and some of the top cricket players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, among others. If Pathan supported pant he will be fully fired up to perform as an Indian match-winner.
With the T20 World Cup 2024 coming closer, there you go again putting focus and reliance on Rishabh Pant. Moreover, there is nothing better than such words from Pathan as Pant will be focused on a strong performance for India. Can he step up and seize his opportunity and be a makor player in the world of football? In this period we will witness more and more faded expectations and rising stars, but we know for sure –Rishabh Pant has a potential to become an international player.
