Pant Has Been Extremely Consistent At No. 5, He Plays On His Own Terms: Shastri
New Delhi: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri is mesmerised by wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's audacious batting display in the first innings of the opening Test against England and lauded his consistency at No. 5.
India vice-captain slammed his seventh Test ton and third in England, the best by any visiting wicketkeeper. He now holds the record for most Test hundreds as a wicketkeeper for India, going past MS Dhoni's tally of six.
"First, he's outrageous. I saw that on the first day as well. And I liked what I saw. Because he's different from the rest. He plays on his own terms. At times, he'll play the numbers game. At times, he'll just do what his mind says. That's Rishabh Pant for me," Shatri said in a video shared by the BCCI.
