    Pant Hasn’t Done Anything Wrong, Deserved To Continue As Vice‑captain In Tests: Kaif

    Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Mohammad Kaif has said Rishabh Pant deserved to continue as vice‑captain of the Test team, insisting that the wicketkeeper‑batter remains India’s biggest match‑winner in the red‑ball format and that he hadn’t done anything wrong.

    Pant’s elevation as India’s vice-captain in Tests after Shubman Gill was made the new red-ball skipper last year for the tour of England was seen as a clear signal that the wicketkeeper-batter was identified as a leader-in-waiting.

    Even when Gill was ruled out of the Guwahati Test against South Africa last year due to a neck injury, Pant led India, though it ended in a massive 408-run defeat, as the hosts suffered a 2-0 series loss.
