India skipper Virat Kohli appreciated wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's unbeaten century in the Cape Town Test, saying it was one of the better hundreds he saw in Test cricket. On day three of the deciding Test, Pant smashed exactly 100 runs off 139 balls, including six fours and four sixes, in a high-quality knock, which eventually went in vain.
"Definitely, it was a high-quality knock given the conditions, situation and the kind of bowling was on display. That's the talent he possesses. Hence, I said it's up to him to keep learning from the mistakes that happened because we can understand what he can do for the team on a regular basis.
"The quality he has, as a wicketkeeper and batsman, he can keep doing this at a regular occurrence for India and that is only going to help the team be in match-winning situations. Because he is a special talent and can-do special things, a tremendous knock and one of the better hundreds I have seen," said Kohli in the post-match press conference.
