Former Australia wicket-keeper batter, Adam Gilchrist has said that India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant is a “dangerous player” and can churn out unprecedented results for Team India. Pant displayed his sensational form, scoring a century during the Birmingham Test. The southpaw batter backed it with a fifty in his second innings in the fifth Test, which India eventually lost by seven wickets.

The Indian wicketkeeper-batter played a crucial role for India in the third ODI as his innings of 125 not out helped India clinch the series against England. He played a match-winning knock when the men in blue were reeling at 71/4.

During a recent chat with Mid-Day, talking about Pant, Adam Gilchrist said, “I love wicketkeeper-batsmen, particularly left-handers. And Rishabh is a dangerous player, who can produce unexpected results. He’s so exciting to watch, that’s a sign of a quality player. Rishabh is aggressive, but while he takes risks, he also believes in his skills to get the job done. And he is doing that more consistently, which is fantastic.”

India will be locking horns with West Indies in a five-match T20I series which is scheduled to be commencing on the 29th of July in Port of Spain.
